Dallas Stars vs New Jersey Devils Prediction & Picks, October 27, 2026

The Dallas Stars have been on a solid run, winning seven out of their last ten games. They are playing at home, where they tend to perform better, and they have a strong defense that blocks almost 15 shots a game, slightly better than the league average. This shows they know how to protect their net, which gives them a good chance against the New Jersey Devils. The Devils have also won six out of their last ten, making this matchup quite close. However, their shot-blocking stats are a bit weaker, only managing 12.1 blocks per game. This could open up scoring opportunities for the Stars. While both teams are competitive, the Stars have the slight advantage at home, but it's still a tight race.

Dallas Stars vs New Jersey Devils: Under 5.5 Total Goals (-102)

The Dallas Stars have been strong lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games. They also do a great job of blocking shots, averaging nearly 15 a game, which is a bit above the league norm. This shows they're focused on defense, which can keep the score low. On the other side, the New Jersey Devils are also winning, but they don't block as many shots. With both teams playing solid defense, a total of under 5.5 goals seems like a smart bet. The matchup is really close, and the risk is that both teams could surprise us with more scoring. But with the way they've been playing, low scoring feels likely.

Dallas Stars vs New Jersey Devils: Dallas Stars 2nd Period Moneyline (-116)

The Dallas Stars have been on a roll lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games. They are playing at home, where they usually have a strong crowd backing them. The Stars are also pretty good at blocking shots, doing it more often than the league average, which shows they're focused on defense. The New Jersey Devils are no slouches either, winning 6 of their last 10, but their numbers suggest they might struggle a bit more. They block fewer shots and land fewer hits compared to the league averages, so they may not be as tough on the ice. This matchup is close, making it hard to predict, but I like the Stars to take the second period.

Dallas Stars vs New Jersey Devils: Timo Meier Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (-102)

Timo Meier has been a solid player for the New Jersey Devils, and he's got a good shot at hitting over 2.5 shots on goal in this game against the Dallas Stars. The Stars have a strong defense, blocking just a bit more than the league average, but Meier has been active lately and can find ways to get his shots off. Dallas has been winning games, but they also allow players to get their chances. Both teams are coming into this matchup with decent form, as the Stars have won 7 of their last 10 games while the Devils are not far behind with 6 wins in the same span. With the game being played at the American Airlines Center, Meier might see plenty of opportunities to shoot. The biggest risk is that Dallas plays tough defense, which could limit his chances.

Dallas Stars vs New Jersey Devils: Timo Meier Over 0.5 Points (+126)

At the American Airlines Center, Timo Meier looks set to make an impact against the Dallas Stars. The Stars have been strong lately, winning seven out of their last ten games. Meier has a good chance to score since he's been active and the team is facing a defense that hasn't been blocking as many shots as they should. The Devils' shot-blocking is lower than league average, which could give Meier some good opportunities. The biggest risk is that both teams are performing well, so it may be a close game. Still, with Dallas giving up chances and Meier being a key player, betting on him to score at least one point feels like a solid choice. Let's see if he can take advantage of the moment!

Dallas Stars vs New Jersey Devils: Nico Hischier Over 1.5 Shots on Goal (-141)

For Nico Hischier to go over 1.5 shots on goal tonight, he just needs to take two shots during the game against the Dallas Stars. He's been a solid contributor for New Jersey, and with the Stars allowing a fair amount of shots, it sets up nicely for him. Dallas has been good at blocking shots, but they still give up chances, especially with their average of 14.9 blocks per game. Both teams are in decent form, with Dallas winning seven of their last ten games. Hischier has shown he can find opportunities, but the risk is that the Stars are tough to play against at home. Still, with the way he's been playing, this bet has a good chance to hit.
