Bank On Stankoven Shining As Senators Snap Stars Winning Streak

Sunday night is the ultimate opportunity for NHL fans, with a lineup of five thrilling matchups that fans eagerly anticipate. One game that stands out is the Stars looking to tie the franchise record with their eighth straight win when taking on the Ottawa Senators in their second leg of a road back-to-back.

For bettors, this matchup provides a chance to capitalize on some of our recent strong trends, like our 23-16 record on our last 39 picks and our 15-10 record on our last 25 player prop picks.

All betting lines are from Bet365 and are subject to change. Hockey is a difficult sport to predict so please gamble responsibly.

Bet: Senators ML (+115), Logan Stankoven Over 0.5 points (+145), Logan Stankoven Over 2.5 shots on goal (+120), Stars Senators Over 5.5 goals (-115)

The obvious pick here is the Senators as the Stars are overdue for a loss, will be playing the very next day after a hard fought battle versus the Habs on Saturday and will be traveling for this one and playing in the late afternoon, meaning les,s rest for the team.

It'll be a very difficult spot for the Stars to overcome as they also haven't been the best road team this season with 11-8-0 record that is being propped up by their recent winning streak. The Sens have beat the Stars in seven straight at home dating back to 2016 being the last time Dallas won in Ottawa.

The Stars should still play a hard fought game and I expect the spark in the lineup to be ignited by forward Logan Stankoven. The 21-year-old BC native recorded seven shots in the Stars 2-1 win on Saturday but couldn't find the back of the net. It marked his 24th straight game without a goal and he should see his chances versus a Ottawa team without regular starter Linus Ullmark.

The Sens will likely start Anton Forsberg, who has a ten goals allowed across his last three starts versus the Stars since joining Ottawa. It should present a great opportunity for Stankoven to finally snap his horrid scoring skid and hopefully get him back towards being in the conversation for the Calder trophy like he was at the beginning of this season.
