Dallas won the first meeting 3-2 on October 26, and that marked the start of a six-game losing streak for Nashville, which is currently on a three-game skid. The Predators have averaged just 2.29 goals in seven games. The Stars have won five of six against the Central Division, and the Predators have lost four straight against teams that scored at least five goals in their previous game. Jake Oettinger is ready to bounce back from a poor showing on Thursday when Anaheim scored six goals while defeating the Stars 7-5. Oettinger is still 5-3-2 with a 2.89 goals-against average this season. Dallas has won nine of the past 13 meetings and six of seven on the road. Nashville has lost 15 of 20 against the Western Conference. Take the Stars.
