The Stars are entering this game with 94 points, a 45-21-4 record overall, and they are 18-14-2 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a win against the Minnesota Wild in their last game, winning that one at home 3-0, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the Edmonton Oilers still to be played on Wednesday night. In their game against the Wild, Matt Duchene, Wyatt Johnston, and Mason Marchment each scored 1 goal for them in that one. Roope Hintz led the team in assists with 2 while Mikael Granlund led the team in shots on net in that game with 5. Jake Oettinger was the starting goalie in that game and he recorded the shutout as he allowed 0 goals on 32 shots with 32 saves and a 1.000 save percentage. Their offense has scored 237 goals this season averaging 3.4 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 182 goals against them allowing 2.6 goals per game.

The Flames are entering this game with 79 points, a 34-25-11 record overall, and they are 19-11-5 in their home games this season where they will be in this game.

The current betting odds have the Flames listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Flames have looked good in their games this season with their 34-25-11 record overall which has them in 4th place of their division in the West, but that record also has them just a few points outside of a Wild Card spot. They have looked a lot better on home ice this season with their 19-11-5 home record. Meanwhile, the Stars have looked really good in their games this season with their 45-21-4 record overall which has them in 2nd place of their division in the West and in a playoff spot. They have been a good road team too with their 18-14-2 road record, but they haven't been a great road team as they are much better on home ice. The Stars have looked good lately as they are 6-2-2 in their last 10 games and have some momentum with 2 wins in a row now, but the Flames have been the hotter team lately and they are catching the Stars in a bad situation here. The Stars are playing this game on a back-to-back so they aren't going to be rested like the Flames, and the Stars also have a tough game against the Oilers the night before. The Flames have also been hot lately themselves, going 6-2-2 in their last 10 games, and they have some more momentum on their side with 4 wins in a row now. The Flames also need this game more since the Stars are one of the best teams in the West while the Flames are still fighting for a playoff spot. The best way to place a bet here is on the Flames to win this game.

“You can tell when [Oettinger]’s feeling it and dialed in like that. He’s got that swagger. You can just tell. They looked like they could shoot all night and he wasn’t going to let anything in. When he’s got that feel, that’s obviously a really good feeling on our bench.” - Pete DeBoer after his team’s win against the Wild in their game on Monday.

"The belief has been there all year. There's been stretches where hockey games haven't gone our way and we've had a tough time stringing them along, but if there's ever a time to get the engines running it's right now. It's a super-tight race, as everyone knows. You certainly don't want to let one slip away because the other guys aren't." - Dustin Wolf after their win against the Kraken in their game on Tuesday.
