Carolina Hurricanes vs Dallas Stars Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tuesday, 01/21/25

The Carolina Hurricanes make the 2nd stop on a 3-game road trip. This is the 2nd game in a back-to-back situation, after winning a wild 4-3 game in overtime against the Chicago Blackhawks. That made for a successful return for Frederik Andersen, who had been out since late October. Now, Pyotr Kochetkov will get the starting nod with the Canes back on no rest. Carolina has 4 victories in 8 games on no rest this season, although it has won the past 3 such instances. Still, this might be the toughest turnaround yet, traveling from Chicago to Dallas, while having to find the dynamic Jake Oettinger.

The Stars looked impressive in a 4-1 victory against the visiting Red Wings on Sunday, covering the puck line as favorites behind Oettinger. He gave up a late goal in the 3rd period to spoil a shutout, but that’s about the only thing that went wrong. These teams met back in Raleigh on November 25, with the Canes coming away with a 6-4 victory behind Spencer Martin, who is now with Chicago of the AHL. The Stars have won 2 of the past 3 in the series, with Dallas winning 2 of the past 3 in the Metroplex, too. Dallas should get the win over a fatigued Carolina team here.
