My Prediction
Dallas Stars by 2Okay, party people. Loosen up those seatbelts because we're about to dive into a highly anticipated meeting of the Anaheim Ducks and Dallas Stars.
The Anaheim Ducks' performance seems to be as shaky as a new-born deer on ice. I mean, look at their stats! First off, we've got the human wall, Lukas Dostal, currently with a 92.3% save percentage for this season. However, we should be fair and note that John Gibson also provided commendable support last season, saving 88.7% of those pesky pucks. Swooping onto their top players, Troy Terry and Leo Carlsson seem to have their blades set in ice, with both showing a negative plus-minus for the last month. Ryan Strome, however, has held his ground, boasting a positive 2 plus-minus.
Strapping for the Dallas Stars, Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith have been showing us a save percentage of 91.6% and 92.9% respectively. Not too bad, gentlemen, not too bad. On the offensive end, Matt Duchene is leading the way this season with a scream-worthy total of 20 points, closely followed by Mason Marchment and Tyler Seguin, pulling through with an impressive plus-minus.
Digging into the encyclopedia of past matchups, Dallas Stars have had the upper-hand more often than not. We're talking a whopping 4 out of 5 wins in their past five face-offs against the Ducks.
By the standards of their regular season record, the Ducks are looking more washed up than a beach after a storm, sitting with a harrowing 6-2-8, while, on the contrary, the Stars have been anything but ordinary, dazzling with a bright 11-0-5 record.
Here's hoping the Ducks can get their feathers back in their quills for their upcoming confrontations. Unfortunately, their recent results suggest that they might need more than just luck. On the flip-side, the recent results paint a rather rosy picture for the Stars, with exciting victories against teams like Minnesota and Pittsburgh.
For my buddy looking to put his billfold on the line here, based on the data, look for the Dallas Stars to continue their Winning streak when they face off against the Anaheim Ducks.
