Winnipeg are tipped to win the opening game of this conference semi-final.

The Jets have been in outstanding form at home over the past several weeks, and they also boast a strong recent record against Dallas.

  • Winnipeg Jets are 16-3 in their last 19 home games
  • Winnipeg Jets are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings with Dallas
  • Dallas Stars are 1-5 in their previous 6 road games
  • The Under has cashed in 8 of the previous 9 meetings

Head To Head

  • Dallas Stars lead the all-time series 33-22-5
  • Winnipeg Jets won 4-0 when the two teams last met on April 10

Dallas Stars Form

Dallas booked their place in the conference semi-finals by battling past Colorado in seven games.

The Stars earned their place in the postseason by going 50-26-6 to finish second in the Central Division, but made a rough start to the playoffs as they lost 5-1 at home.

They rebounded to take their second home game, 4-3 in overtime, and backed that up in their first road game of the series as they won 2-1 in overtime in Colorado.

Dallas surrendered the series lead with a 4-0 loss on the road, only to regain it with a 6-2 blowout of the Avalanche when they returned home.

The Stars missed out on the chance to clinch on the road as they lost 7-4 in Game 6, but with the stakes at their highest they won 4-2 in Game 7.

Winnipeg Jets Form

Winnipeg enter this series having also gone seven games in the opening round of the postseason.

The Jets went 56-22-4 to win the Central Division, and they enjoyed a flying start to the playoffs as they won back-to-back home meetings with St Louis, 5-3 and 2-1.

They failed to maintain that momentum on the road though, as they surrendered their two-game lead with 7-2 and 5-1 defeats.

Winnipeg regained the series lead with a 5-3 win at home, only to again give it up on the road as they lost 5-2 in St Louis in Game 6.

The Jets finally got the job done in Game 7 though, as they returned home to edge St Louis in overtime, 4-3.

Verdict

These two teams went the distance in their respective first-round series, and another marathon contest could be on the cards here.

Winnipeg are in good form at home and did win three of the four regular season meetings, so we are taking the Jets and the plus-money in Game 1.
