Dallas Stars vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/23/25

The Dallas Stars are in the Motor City to take on the Detroit Red Wings in a Tuesday night showdown on TNT. This should be a tremendous matchup to watch unfold, as the Stars are second in the Western Conference with 55 points while the Red Wings are second in the Eastern Conference with 45 points. Both teams can put up plenty of goals, which means we could have a high-scoring affair on our hands. The Stars enter this contest riding a 4-game win streak with 22 total goals in that span, which evens out to 5.5 goals per game. The Red Wings rank 20th in goals allowed per game with 3.18, and have had plenty of defensive struggles so far this season. John Gibson has won 7 starts in a row, but he still owns a 3.01 goals-against average and .892 save percentage on the season. Dallas’ well-rounded forward group should be able to keep things rolling in this one.

Both of these teams rank in the top-10 of the NHL in power play percentage, with Dallas ranking 2nd at 31.3% and Detroit ranking 8th at 23.7%. Dallas is a strong defensive team, but goaltender Jake Oettinger has allowed 3 or more goals in 3 of his last 4 games. He’s not exactly at his sharpest right now, and the Red Wings are more than capable of taking advantage. Take confidence in the over.
