Columbus - Dallas (5.5 Total goals) Heavy schedule usually on Tuesdays at the NHL, and today's match is between Columbus BJackets and Dallas Stars.
Second match in two days for Stars after yesterday's defeat at Nashville in the 4-5 extension. They are now hoping to return Lehtonen's main goal keeper, which is a key part of the defensive operation. 5 / 5 / 1 / 0 except Stars this year, and 9 / 8 / 2 / 0 as a whole, make a relatively modest year. Team without any extras in their back-to-back game tonight I have the feeling that they will get more conservative to claim something from this tonight match as they count 3 defeats in the last 4 as a whole. In addition to Stars, 2.30 scores and accepts approximately 2.70.
The Jackets, despite fighting their away matches, did not manage to get anything from the road-trip, finishing with 5 defeats in 6 matches. The positive thing about the trip is that the defense tightened a bit and managed in 3 of the matches to keep the opponents below 3 goals. They will give a match today inside, and they want the victory as tomorrow they go to Chicago again. At their headquarters this year are 3/4/1/1 and 5/12/1/1 in total. The team does not take risks in the matches as it does not have much firepower and looks to steal the matches by playing conservatively and paying attention to the defense. He concedes 2.90 goals inside while offensively scores close to 2.70.
The gameplay style of the two opponents appeared in the first match between the two teams, with the Jackets winning in with 2-1 in a match with a little more than 50 shots overall. The total record of both under the year this year is 19 / 15. The two teams in 8 last matches that they have given to Columbus have brought under 7 times. Dallas in particular has some extra strong trends for tonight's game showing just a few goals. 38-20 in the 3 under the last years after a match where they received more than 4 goals, and 222 / 159 on the under by 96 and then after a match where they achieved 4 goals. For Jackets, 4-0 stands out in the last 4 total, and 11-7 on the under when playing in the evening.
Matches that need both of them tonight, and I do not expect either of them to take a particular risk because they are not the best of the two teams at the moment. If it was fresh tonight, Dallas would have the avant-garde but the fatigue that would have somehow balanced things tonight. I'm going with a few goals in a match that will reasonably be judged at the goal tonight.
Total goals under 5.5 @ 1.70, Pinnacle.
