Dallas Stars vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction & Picks, October 22, 2026

The Dallas Stars are hosting the Winnipeg Jets at the American Airlines Center, and both teams have been a bit up and down lately. The Stars won 5 of their last 10 games, while the Jets managed only 4 wins in the same stretch. With both teams struggling for consistent goal-scoring, it seems likely we won't see a ton of goals in this matchup. The combined scoring for these teams looks to be about 5.5 goals, which makes betting on under 5.5 a reasonable choice. A solid risk here is that both teams have players who are still finding their form early in the season. Given recent performances, keeping this total low feels like the smart move.

Dallas Stars vs Winnipeg Jets: Winnipeg Jets +0.5 3rd Period Puck Line (-127)

The odds for the Winnipeg Jets to cover the 3rd Period Puck Line at +0.5 look promising. Our numbers show they have a good chance to pull through, especially since they've won 4 of their last 10 games. The Stars have only managed to win half of their last 10, which makes this matchup pretty even. One thing to consider is that the Jets have quite a few players who shoot left, which could impact their scoring opportunities. Still, with the game being in Dallas, the Stars will be looking to perform well at home, so it could be close. Overall, this bet has potential, but it won't be an easy win.

Dallas Stars vs Winnipeg Jets: Winnipeg Jets 2nd Period Moneyline (+142)

The odds for the Winnipeg Jets to win the second period at +142 look good given how close this matchup is. Both the Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets have been pretty even lately, with the Stars winning five of their last ten games and the Jets winning four of theirs. With this matchup being so tight, the Jets have a solid chance to come out on top in the second period. While the Jets have a lot of left shooters on their team, they can still find ways to score against a Stars team that's adjusting with several new players. The biggest risk here is that both teams are pretty similar in form, which could lead to a tight game. Still, the value on the Jets at these odds makes it an interesting pick.

Dallas Stars vs Winnipeg Jets: Jake Oettinger Over 20.5 Saves (-108)

The bet on Jake Oettinger getting over 20.5 saves at odds of -108 looks promising. The Dallas Stars have won 5 of their last 10 games, which means they are playing well. Oettinger is likely to face quite a few shots, especially since the Winnipeg Jets have been shooting a lot lately, with most of their players shooting left. This should give Oettinger plenty of chances to make those saves. One concrete risk is that both teams are closely matched, so it could go either way. However, Oettinger's strong recent performance suggests he can handle the pressure and make those saves at home. Plus, with the Jets looking for goals, he may be busy in net.

Dallas Stars vs Winnipeg Jets: Dylan Samberg Over 1.5 Blocked Shots (-154)

For Dylan Samberg to get over 1.5 blocked shots tonight, he just needs to step in front of a few pucks. The Dallas Stars are known for their strong offensive play, which means there will likely be plenty of shots coming his way. With the Stars winning 5 out of their last 10 games, they'll be pushing hard to keep the pressure on. Samberg plays for the Winnipeg Jets, who have won 4 of their last 10 games. While that's not the best record, it suggests they'll be in a defensive mindset, especially against a tough opponent. The biggest risk is that both teams are closely matched, which could mean fewer opportunities for blocked shots. Still, with the chances looking good, it's worth a shot!

Dallas Stars vs Winnipeg Jets: Kyle Connor Over 0.5 Goals (+170)

Kyle Connor from the Winnipeg Jets is a solid choice to score a goal against the Dallas Stars. Both teams have had mixed results lately, with the Stars winning five out of their last ten games and the Jets winning four. It's worth noting that the matchup is pretty close, so anything could happen, but Connor has been a reliable scorer. With the game at the American Airlines Center, Dallas will need to keep an eye on Connor, especially with 46 of the 72 Jets skaters shooting left. The odds of him scoring are looking good, making this a fun bet to consider. Just remember, there's always a chance it might not go as planned.
