Can Thompson and the Capitals Defy the Odds and Topple the Stars Tonight?
The Stars have gotten off to a decent start themselves with a 5-3-1 record to begin the year. They’ve had quite a bit of games at home to start the season, which might be something to keep in mind for later in the year. This is already their sixth game at home, and their record is 2-2-1. After dropping three straight games, they have won their past two. They did have three games in four nights recently, and this will be the fourth game in six nights. While that tends to matter more in basketball with effort, this still could prove to bring tired legs. The Stars are allowing 3.33 goals per game to opponents and also scoring three per game. Dallas also takes one fewer shot on average than their opponent. They are likely putting Jake Oettinger in the pipes tonight to try and get Dallas a win. For the season, Oettinger is 4-2-1 with a 2.99 goals against per game average and a .899 save percentage. He is typically one of the better goalies in the league, but he has allowed four goals in three games, two goals in three games, and three in the other.Â
