Vancouver Canucks vs Dallas Stars. The NHL pick for this game is the Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks are attempting to pull off the unexpected, but I think the Stars, one of the top teams in the Western Conference, will take control of this game right away. With Jason Robertson, Roope Hintz, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the ball in the offensive zone and producing open shots with superb puck movement, the Stars should score a ton of goals against a Canucks defense that permits 3.97 goals per game. Esa Lindell, Miro Heiskanen, and the rest of the Stars defense should limit the Canucks attack by forcing turnovers in the defensive zone and reducing shot attempts, permitting goaltender Jake Oettinger to stop the shots on goal. The Stars only surrender 2.56 goals per game. The Stars should triumph and cover the odds in a commanding victory on their home field. Vancouver will win to a predicted score of 7-3.
