Above all, the Dallas Stars have relied on defense to contend for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. A source of frustration for Stars fans and gamblers is the lack of goal-scoring. In particular, Tyler Seguin and Jami Been have not lived up to the billing with the NHL betting odds. That being said, the Stars are not as air-tight on the back end for 2021-22. And that has to change for Dallas to make the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Counter to that, is Nashville’s solid playoff position. The Predators have been consistent defensively and are getting more offense than expected.
