Sep 29 forecast

Dallas has repeatedly beaten St. Louis and enters at home, so a Stars victory is favored.

Dallas enters with the stronger recent record in this matchup, including two preseason wins over St. Louis and six victories in their past seven regular-season meetings. The Stars also retain a strong defensive core and a capable backup goaltender, while the Blues have lost two defensemen to injured reserve. Dallas is favored because Oettinger and Matt Duchene have uncertain health, the opening roster is thin at forward, and one NHL game remains highly sensitive to goaltending and finishing.

Points to Stars

Dallas has dominated the recent regular-season series against St. Louis.
As of September 3, Dallas had won six of the teams' seven listed regular-season meetings from December 2024 through February 2026.
Dallas carried much stronger preseason form into the matchup.
By September 26, Dallas had won all four listed preseason games, including two 2-1 victories over St. Louis, while the Blues had lost three of four.
St. Louis enters with injuries weakening its defensive depth.
On September 28, the Blues placed Logan Mailloux and Tyler Tucker on injured reserve; Mailloux faced an eight-week reevaluation and Tucker was week-to-week.

Points to Blues

Injury uncertainty surrounds two important Dallas players.
ESPN listed Jake Oettinger and Matt Duchene as day-to-day with estimated October 2 returns.
Dallas begins the season with limited forward depth and broader lineup uncertainty.
On September 28, Dallas opened with only 12 active forwards on its 21-player initial roster.
