Bet: Stars Habs Over 5.5 goals (-150), Habs +1.5 (-150), Jason Robertson Over 0.5 points (-180)

Since December 17th, the Habs are the hottest team in the NHL with a 9-2-0 record, a 3.82 goals per game average and a 2.27 goals against average. The Stars have been consistently elite for years now and this season has been no different with six straight wins and a 18-8-1 record in their last 27 games.

Dallas has also been elite on both ends of the ice but we could see the red hot offence shine through as the Habs have won three straight home games with the total going over six in each game. The Stars have won four straight road games with 17 goals scored and have found success at the Bell Centre with five straight wins. This one should be tight with Montreal having one of the best betting records in the league at 24-17 against the spread.

The hottest player in the NHL is Jason Robertson, who has three goals and eight assists for 11 points in his last six games. He should excel in this matchup with a pair of goals and four assists for six points in his last four games versus Montreal.
