Vancouver Canucks at Dallas Stars
With my last offering on the Capitals at –1 goal winning by a score of (5–3,) when hosting the Winnipeg Jets, I am 2–3–2 at the Every Edge home page for -$200.00 with all these postings being 1.0-unit each. Onto tonight’s selection.
With goaltender Kari Lehtonen out of the line-up due to an injury Antti Niemi should get the start tonight at American Airlines Center in Dallas as the Stars host the Vancouver Canucks. Niemi is 5–2 in 7 home starts with a save percentage of 90.2%. He was in goal the first time these two teams met on October 29 stopping 29 shots in a 4–3 home victory.
Ryan Miller has 19 starts in goal this season, which ties him for the league lead. Miller is on a 0–4–2 slide vs. the Stars with a 4.25 GAA average. Miller has allowed 25 goals in 10 road starts for an average of 2.5 goals allowed per contest and his save percentage is 91.2% and he is 4–6 away from home. In his last four starts Miller has allowed 12 goals. If Miller doesn’t start Vancouver’s back-up is Jacob Markstrom. He’s allowed 7 goals in two road starts.
