Ottawa Senators vs. Dallas Stars: Match preview
Ottawa and Dallas play in different conferences, which means they face each other rarely — just twice per season. This will be their first encounter of the campaign.
The Senators had a slow start to their season but have gradually improved. They are currently on a two-game winning streak, with three wins in their last five, climbing back into playoff contention. Ottawa sit third in the Atlantic Division with 19 points from 16 games. However, defensive issues remain a concern, as their 58 goals conceded rank as the second-worst figure in the East.
Dallas, competing in the Western Conference’s Central Division, have been more consistent in collecting points and securing victories. Through 16 games, the Stars have earned 21 points and currently occupy second place in their division — and also second in the Western Conference overall. Dallas have won their last two outings and three of their previous five.
Prediction
Ottawa have won four consecutive home games and will be eager to extend that streak. Although facing Dallas will be a serious test, I expect the Senators to avoid defeat in regulation time. That’s the bet I recommend for this matchup.
