Let's analyze the 24/7 NHL odds from BetMGM Sportsbook Panthers vs Stars Opportunities and meet our NHL expert picks and predictions.

Season Series: First Meeting; The Panthers went 2-0 in 2023-24

The Panthers travel to Finland with three straight wins, all on the road, outscoring their opponents 14-6. The Over has cashed in 4 of the last 5 games, while the total has been high in 8 of the 11 games of the season.

The Stars doubled up on the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2 last Saturday, with the point total falling short of G in most stores (6). Jake Oettinger. Dallas has scored 3 or more goals in 6 of 9 games so far, averaging 3.1 goals per game (GPG), a mediocre 17th in the NHL. However, it only takes 1.9 GPG to rank 2nd in the league, and the penalty kill is also 2nd at 93.1%.

The Panthers played in the 2009 NHL premiere series against the Blackhawks at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, splitting two games. Florida also played in Helsinki against the Winnipeg Jets in the NHL Global Series in 2018 and split two games then.

The Stars appeared in exhibition games abroad, but the franchise has never appeared in regular season games at the international level

Panthers vs Stars tips and predictions

forecast

Stars 3, Panther 2

Money line

The STARS (-110) are a solid performance at the front end of the back-to-back overseas series.

We are playing against Dallas because of Oettinger as he has been very consistent and has allowed three or fewer goals in every game so far.

The Panthers (-110) are 1-1-1 in three attempts against Western Conference teams this season, going 11-7 in those games. Bobrovsky was 1-0-1 in those two starts, both of which went to overtime.

Puck Line/Against the Spread

With stars +1.5 (-250) you will get back two and a half times your potential return if you want a little insurance. This is far too expensive and makes little sense even as part of a multi-leg parlay.

HAPPEN.

Over/Under

UNDER 6 (-110) is worth a bet at the start of the NHL Global Series in Tampere.

We have two top goalkeepers playing at a high level this season as Bobrovsky and Oettinger won't allow much.

We will be going against the trend of the season as Florida has posted big wins in 8 of 11 games so far. However, the U team is 5-1-2 in his last 8 games, and with Oettinger, the U team is 3-0-2 in his last 5 appearances.
