Dallas Stars at Winnipeg Jets Preview & Picks

Winnipeg are tipped to bounce back from their Game 1 defeat.

The Jets very rarely lose back-to-back home games, and despite Wednesday’s loss they have been in good form at the Canada Life Centre in recent weeks.

  • Winnipeg Jets are 16-4 in their last 20 home games
  • Winnipeg Jets have lost back-to-back home games just 1 time this season
  • Dallas Stars are 2-5 in their previous 7 road games
  • The Under has cashed in 9 of the previous 10 meetings

Head To Head

  • Dallas Stars lead the all-time series 34-22-5
  • Dallas Stars won 3-2 when the two teams last met on May 7

Dallas Stars Form

Dallas go into their second game in Winnipeg having made a dream start to this second-round series.

The Stars ran out 3-2 winners on Wednesday night, meaning they will be tied at the very least when this series heads to Texas.

They went 50-26-6 during the regular season to finish second in their division, but they made a bad start to the postseason as they were beaten 5-1 at home by Colorado.

Dallas responded with a couple of overtime wins, 4-2 at home and 2-1 on the road, but they failed to keep that run going as they then lost 4-0 in Game 4.

The Stars split the next two meetings with the Avalanche, winning 6-2 at home and losing 7-4 on the road, before finally wrapping things up with a 4-2 home win in Game 7.

Winnipeg Jets Form

Winnipeg enter this matchup in desperate need of a victory, having dropped the opening game on Wednesday.

The Jets have home advantage for this series with Dallas, but they failed to make the most of it in Game 1 as they were beaten 3-2 by the Stars.

They went 56-22-4 to win the Central Division and make the playoffs, but they were made to work hard for the first-round win over St Louis.

Winnipeg opened the series with back-to-back home wins, 2-1 and 5-3, only to then surrender their lead with 7-2 and 5-1 defeats on the road.

The Jets failed to back up a 5-3 home win as they lost 5-2 on the road, but they did clinch the series in Game 7 as they finally took down the Blues, 4-3 in overtime at home.

Verdict

Dallas have put themselves in a strong position already, but we expect a response from Winnipeg.

The Jets have been a reliable pick at home despite Wednesday’s loss, and only once this season have they dropped back-to-back games on their own ice.
