The Stars are on a six-game skid and are resting players heading into the playoffs but you can expect that they will still get the job done against the Predators which they beat 5-1 just under two weeks ago.

Dallas have not been the defensive force that they have been all season during their losing streak but Nashville have not been able to trouble anyone this season, scoring the least amount of goals of any team this season.

Mikko Rantanen has been using his experience to help dig the Stars out of their slump and is still in good form, recording 5 points in 5 games heading into the postseason.

Expect the goals to poor in for Dallas and even a few to trickle in for Nashville who will be keen to end their season on a good note.

Dallas Stars Form

The Dallas Stars were the odds on favourites for the Cup two weeks ago and are now sliding out of control with 6 straight losses heading into the playoffs. Dallas have allowed 29 goals during their losing run, over 2.2 more per game than their season average that has them as the sixth-best defensive team in the NHL.

For a goalie pairing of Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith who are averaging a save percentage of .908 it has been their worst run of the year. The duo have not had a better percentage than .860 in their past games.

The only small positive coming out of the run is that midseason recruit Mikko Rantanen leads the team with 5 points in the last 5 games.
