Short Preview

As the Dallas Stars prepare to host the Minnesota Wild on April 9, 2026, both teams come into the matchup with contrasting recent forms. The Stars have struggled to find consistency, winning only 2 of their last 5 matches. Their gameplay has shown flashes of potential, yet defensive lapses have often proved costly.

On the other hand, the Minnesota Wild will be buoyed by their impressive recent form, securing victories in 4 of their last 5 outings. Their offensive unit has been in fine form, demonstrating effective puck movement and resilience. If they can continue to capitalize on their scoring opportunities, they could pose a significant challenge for the Stars’ defense.

Our model gives a slight edge to Dallas with a 48.1% probability of a home victory, while Minnesota’s chances sit at 30.5% for an away win.
