Dallas Stars vs Winnipeg Jets Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Dallas Stars
The Stars have already secured a playoff berth and seem to be firmly in second place in the Central Division, which should set up a first-round matchup against the Minnesota Wild in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
However, none of that matters much considering how poorly Dallas have been playing lately.
They’re coming off a 6-3 loss to the Boston Bruins on Tuesday, which marked their fourth defeat in the last five outings (W1, L3, OT1) and their seventh across the last 10 (W3, L5, OT2).

The Stars have chosen the worst time of the season to go cold. Still, they’ll look to bounce back against a Jets team they’ve already beaten three times in the 2025-26 regular season.
Winnipeg have been trending in the opposite direction, heating up at the right time. They enter this matchup on a two-game winning run and have won four of their last five (W4, L1). However, their W4, L2, OT2 record over their last eight encounters suggests a degree of inconsistency, and their struggles against the Stars throughout the season could also be a factor here.

Dallas need to bounce back before it’s too late, as they can’t enter the playoffs on a cold streak. They should benefit from playing at home against a Winnipeg side that will be on the road for a third straight contest. Expect the Stars to secure a win here.
Dallas Stars vs Winnipeg Jets Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Matt Duchene over 0.5 goals
Even though the star duo of Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston tends to grab most of the headlines, Matt Duchene is also a reliable scoring weapon for Dallas. He recorded a goal in Tuesday’s 6-3 loss to the Bruins, meaning he’s registered six points over his last seven appearances.

During that stretch, the veteran forward has racked up two goals, four assists, and eight shots. His season-long numbers are solid as well, as Duchene has 38 points (15 goals, 23 assists) in 50 games this season.
He’s a reliable scoring option, especially if the Jets decide to focus their defensive game plan on slowing down the Robertson-Johnston duo.
Dallas Stars vs Winnipeg Jets Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 6.5 goals + Jason Robertson over 0.5 points + Wyatt Johnston over 0.5 points
Expect this game to feature plenty of goals, as that has been the trend whenever these two sides have met this season.
The previous three head-to-head meetings have produced at least seven goals, and with neither Jake Oettinger nor Connor Hellebuyck at their best lately, a similar score looks likely.

We’re pairing that leg with the Robertson-Johnston duo making an impact as the Stars look to get back to winning ways.
Robertson has recorded seven points (two goals, five assists) over Dallas’ last five outings, while Johnston has found the back of the net three times in that stretch. They should carry the team offensively once again.
Dallas Stars vs Winnipeg Jets Team News
Dallas Stars Team News
Among contending teams, the Stars have the most complicated injury situation by a sizable margin. Against the Jets, they’ll be without Roope Hintz (lower body), Sam Steel (hip), Radek Faksa (lower body), Michael Bunting (lower body), Nathan Bastian (hand), and Tyler Seguin (knee).
The positive news is that, aside from Seguin, all of those players have a realistic chance to be available for the upcoming Stanley Cup playoffs. Defenceman Tyler Myers is dealing with an undisclosed injury but is listed as day-to-day, meaning a decision on his availability will be made closer to the 8 PM ET puck drop.
Winnipeg Jets Team News
The Jets will have to wait to determine whether Morgan Barron and Vladislav Namestnikov will be available for this contest. Barron is in concussion protocol and must be cleared before returning, while Namestnikov is dealing with a lower-body injury.
Colin Miller is working his way back from a knee injury, but this game will come too soon for him. However, he remains on track to return to action before the end of the regular season. The same goes for Nino Niederreiter, who’s recovering from a lower-body injury that has kept him sidelined since the Olympic break.
