02:30 Dallas Stars – New York Islanders

Stars have confirmed Kari Lehtonen as starter. Have 25-13-10 with 2.97 GAA and 0.905% SV on his 48 starts this season. His home record 11-8-8 with 3.08 GAA and 0.897% SV. Vs Islanders have 5-4-1 with 4.11 GAA and 0.889 % SV. On his last H2H allowed 7 goals. Recently out of form, allowing 15 goals on last 4 games.

Islanders have confirmed Jaroslav Halak as starter. Have 33-13-0 with 2.46 GAA and 0.911% SV on his 46 starts this season. His away record 13-6-0 with 2.36 GAA and 0.909% SV. Vs Stars have 4-5-0 with 2.73 GAA and 0.896% SV. On his last H2H allowed 6.03 GAA with 0.870% SV. Solid performance recently, most of the against strong defensive rosters.

IMO, this is one of the most overish clashes in NHL tonight. Simple, I can not image this game to be finished with low-scoring result. Two powerfull attacks with straggling defensive line-ups. Hosts are in amazing overish run, last game vs Anaheim manage 40 SPG and wasn’t on usual scoring level. Islanders are not so good in the defence to be repeat the some performance. Visitors need to wake-up after Carolina’s home defeat. One of the most powerfull roster have advantage vs Stars poor defense.

In last 8 H2H, 7 out of 8 clashes are finished in deep over, as likely should be.

Good luck!
