New Jersey at Dallas

Dallas beat the Islanders 6-3 on Sunday night, and no other game in its last seven reached six combined goals. In those seven games, the Stars allowed 13 goals in regulation, and no opponent scored more than three. They have also killed 20 straight penalties over their last five games, three of them Sunday, which leaves New Jersey to find its goals at even strength. Before the Islanders game, Dallas won 3-2 in overtime over Winnipeg and 3-2 in overtime over Boston. A 4-0 win at Chicago on October 17 came before those two. The Devils beat the Kings 3-1 on Saturday, and the third goal was an empty-netter with 1:05 left. New Jersey outshot Los Angeles 26-13 and still needed Brett Pesce's third-period goal to break a 1-1 tie. It was his first in 35 games. Thursday's 4-1 win over Anaheim means the Devils have allowed one goal in each of their last two games. New Jersey added three-time Vezina winner Connor Hellebuyck in a trade on Friday, and he's confirmed as tonight's starter vs. Dallas backup Casey DeSmith. I'm taking the UNDER.
