Dallas Stars vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Thursday, 01/22/26

The Dallas Stars and Columbus Blue Jackets meet for a Thursday night showdown. These teams met back in October where the Blue Jackets stormed into Texas and won 5-1, but how will things play out this time around? Here is our Stars vs. Blue Jackets prediction for the game.

After a miserable 2-6-4 run by the Stars, they hosted and took down the Boston Bruins with ease in their last outing. This should be a jolt of confidence and a reminder of their strength. They are on the road for this one, but their roster outmatches their opponents by a long shot. Dallas is second overall in the Western Conference and is led by elite level talents like Mikko Rantanen and Jason Robertson. Columbus has some studs as well, but Dallas is extremely deep, and are much more experienced. Their underwhelming play won’t last forever, and their most recent game proves to me they are back. The Stars should get their payback from an early-season pumping by the Blue Jackets, and they should have this one said and done before any extra time is needed.
