The set-up: After four straight wins, I think the Jets come up short here in this difficult road arena. The Jets are primed for a letdown finally in my estimation after their very satisfying 5-1 win over Nashville on Thursday. The Stars lost to Winnipeg 6-1 on January 6th and six then it's lost five of its last six. That includes four straight. It's a revenge game for the Stars, who will be risking life and limb to get off the schneid. From a situational stand point, this one definitely sets up well for the home side in my opinion.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Winnipeg is just 17-18 (-6.9 units) in its last 35 after a three-game unbeaten streak, while Dallas is 14-8 (+3.3 units) in its last 22 after three or more consecutive losses. Play on the "hungrier" home side.

8* Stars.
