Columbus Blue Jackets vs Dallas Stars Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/21/25

The Dallas Stars and Columbus Blue Jackets met twice in February last season, with the 2 teams splitting the series. Each team won on home ice, and the home team could have the advantage again in this one. The Stars will be hungry to get back in the win column after suffering back-to-back losses to the Canucks and Blues. They raced out to a 3-0-0 start before suffering those 2 losses, and will be happy to be back on home ice for this one.

With the likes of Mikko Rantanen, Wyatt Johnston, Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz, Dallas has a much deeper forward group that Columbus. The Stars rank 6th in the league scoring 3.60 goals per game this season, and have scored exactly 5 goals in 3 games this season. Columbus ranks 21st scoring 2.80 goals per game, and Kirill Marchenko has had to do a lot of the heavy lifting. He has 5 of Columbus’ 14 goals this season, and until other depth players start stepping up, the Blue Jackets could have a hard time keeping up with teams like the Stars – especially on the road. Back the Stars in regulation.
