Dallas Stars vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/19/25

The Dallas Stars and Anaheim Ducks meet on Friday for a big Western Conference showdown. Each team has been highly impressive and come with high expectations and even higher standards within the dressing rooms. We are here to provide our Stars vs. Ducks prediction.

I am expecting this game to be an absolute shootout between two elite teams. To begin, the Ducks (3.44 goals per game) and Stars (3.34 goals per game) are 2nd and 4th overall, respectively, in the entire NHL in scoring. There are 9 combined players with 10+ goals and 12 players with 20+ points skating in this game. We will also see the NHL’s best power play on the ice with a 32.1% conversion rate from the Stars. Dallas is also playing in its second game in as many nights with its backup goaltender in. While a solid team like the Stars has a chance to win on any night, they may see multiple goals scored against.

Anaheim has not been an elite team when it comes to defending, as its 3.29 goals against average is 9th-worst in the NHL — leaving ample opportunities for Dallas. In what should be an exciting game, take the over 6.5 for our Stars vs. Ducks prediction.
