Dallas Stars vs Minnesota Wild Moneyline Prediction

This thrilling series returns to Dallas after the last two games in Minnesota ended in overtime, with each team claiming one win.

The Wild had to come from behind in Game 4, as a third-period goal from Marcus Foligno followed by Matt Boldy’s overtime winner completed the comeback and levelled the series. It now effectively becomes a best-of-three, with the Stars holding home-ice advantage for two of the remaining meetings.

That advantage could prove decisive. Despite losing the series opener 6-1, Dallas were strong at home during the regular season, posting a W26, L11, OT4 record.

They’ll likely rely on their power play to tilt the series in their favour, as they’ve converted on 42.1% of their situations with the man advantage, the second-best mark in the playoffs.

Minnesota’s play on special teams, meanwhile, has been less effective, as they rank 10th in power play and 15th in penalty killing among the 16 sides that qualified for the playoffs.

Considering that this series has been defined by small margins and details, every possession will matter. With Dallas thriving in special teams, they should find a way to come out on top.

Dallas Stars vs Minnesota Wild Player Prop

If the Stars are to come out on top and recover the lead in the series, they’ll need their top-tier forwards at their best. So far, Jason Robertson has been making the biggest difference on offence for Dallas.

The star forward, who racked up 45 goals in the regular season, has already netted four goals in the postseason.

The duo of Robertson and Wyatt Johnston combined for 90 goals in the regular season, but Robertson has stepped up in the playoffs.

Aside from posting four goals and six total points, he’s also averaging 5.7 shots per game, with 23 in total across his four appearances, more than any other player in the series. Expect Robertson to be active on offence in Game 5 as well.

Dallas Stars vs Minnesota Wild Same Game Parlay

Dallas and Minnesota are evenly matched, which is reflected in the momentum swings throughout the series. Even though this encounter should be as tight as the previous three have been, it wouldn’t be surprising to see this clash produce at least five goals.

That threshold has been reached in every game so far, and three of the four have hit that mark before overtime.

With both offences playing at a high level, several players could crack the scoresheet, but we’re targeting Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Duchene. Kaprizov currently leads the Wild in points in the series with six (one goal, five assists), while Duchene tops Dallas with seven points, tallying two goals and five helpers.

Even though neither player has been particularly effective in front of goal, both have been testing the opposing keeper enough to be considered a steady threat on offence. Kaprizov has recorded 10 shots in the series, while Duchene has nine. At the very least, both players should test the opposing goaltenders early and often.

Dallas Stars Team News

The Stars will wait until the very last minute to learn whether Nils Lundkvist (face) will be available, as he’s listed as day-to-day. However, the other injured players won’t recover in time for this one. The list includes Roope Hintz (lower body), Nathan Bastian (hand), and Tyler Seguin (knee). Hintz could be back before the end of this first-round series.

Minnesota Wild Team News

The Wild are dealing with two injury concerns, as Mats Zuccarello and Yakov Trenin are listed as day-to-day with upper-body issues. Zuccarello’s potential absence would be particularly significant given his playoff experience. Charlie Stramel, meanwhile, is out with an ankle injury.
