The surging Dallas Stars (24-13-1) bring their four-game winning streak to Madison Square Garden for a compelling interconference matchup against the New York Rangers (18-20-1) on Tuesday night.
Dallas enters the contest boasting the NHL's stingiest defense, allowing just 2.50 goals per game, while their balanced offensive attack averages 3.21 goals per contest.
The Rangers, despite their recent struggles at home, are coming off an impressive 6-2 road victory over Chicago and have shown signs of offensive resurgence with 10 goals in their last two games.
Recent history between these teams favors the Rangers, who have won six of the last ten meetings, including a 3-1 victory in their first matchup this season on December 20.
Both teams will need to overcome significant personnel challenges, with Dallas missing Tyler Seguin due to hip surgery and the Rangers playing without starting goaltender Igor Shesterkin, who remains on injured reserve with an upper-body injury.
As Jake Oettinger and Jonathan Quick prepare to face off between the pipes, this Stars-Rangers prediction shapes up to be a fascinating clash of contrasting styles and momentum.
