Adam Williams presents his prediction for the NHL match.
The Dallas Stars continue their pursuit of the Western Conference-leading Winnipeg Jets, sitting just six points behind, sitting just six points behind. The Stars are in outstanding form, winning six consecutive home games. Meanwhile, the Calgary Flames remain inconsistent, alternating wins and losses, making this a crucial game for their playoff ambitions. However, facing the Dallas Stars presents a tough challenge.
Dallas Stars
The Stars have been dominant, winning six of their last seven games while scoring a remarkable 36 goals in that stretch (5.1 per game). The trio of Roope Hintz, Jason Robertson, and Wyatt Johnston have been particularly impressive, combining for 16 goals and 23 assists over this period. The Stars boast the league’s best penalty kill at 84.2% and remain one of the most disciplined teams, conceding just 168 minor penalties in 61 games.
Calgary Flames
The Flames are struggling to hold onto a playoff spot, managing just one win in their last four outings—a 6:3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Their other performances have been disappointing, suffering shutout losses to the Tampa Bay Lightning (0:3) and the Florida Panthers (0:3), as well as an overtime defeat to the Carolina Hurricanes (1:2). The Flames have also been less reliable on the road, conceding an average of 3.13 goals per game compared to 2.74 at home. Goaltender Dustin Wolf has shown some inconsistency in February, allowing an average of 2.6 goals per game.
Dallas Stars vs Calgary Flames Prediction
The Dallas Stars have secured 47 points in 31 home games, ranking third in the Western Conference for home performance. They crushed the Calgary Flames (6:2) in December, and given the Flames’ defensive struggles, there’s little reason to expect a different outcome.
