Both teams have posted strong winning records so far this season, maintaining their usual dominance in the league. Now we get to see where each team stands in what should be a great game. Let’s break down our Stars vs Hurricanes prediction.

Looking through league stats so far, you’ll see both teams in the top 10 in goals per game. match. What has been more impressive is their defense as both teams are within the top 5 in goals against average. These teams typically play playoff-style hockey, meaning grit, effort and physicality can often trump skill and speed. Carolina’s top 2 goaltenders are out with injuries, but I still have confidence they can stifle offensive output, even against a team as good as Dallas. Both teams could win this game and both should know that it will be a lively game. For our Stars vs Hurricanes prediction, we lean towards Under 6.5.
