Currently standing third in the Metropolitan Division with a record of 31-20-6, the Devils rank 13th in scoring with an average of 3.05 goals per game and 2nd in goals against, allowing 2.47 goals per contest.

Dallas Stars Favored to Dominate Against Struggling New Jersey Devils

Both teams entered the break off a recent win, however, the Devils struggled in their last 10 games with a record of 5-5-0, including two wins in overtime. On the other hand, the Dallas Stars have been performing well with a 7-2-1 record in their last 10 games and are expected to have Oettinger back as their goalkeeper. The Stars have shown strong offensive capabilities by scoring at least four goals in five of their last six games. Although Allen played well in the last game against Montreal, there is a noticeable difference between him and their usual goalkeeper Markstrom. Given Dallas' momentum, solid defense, and powerful offense, it seems unlikely that the Devils will be able to come out on top in this matchup. Therefore, selecting the Stars as the likely winners on the road is recommended.
