Dallas Stars vs Florida Panthers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/01/25

The Dallas Stars will be travelling to south Florida to take on the Panthers in what could be a potential Stanley Cup Final matchup preview. However, there will be a slight advantage to the Stars as the Panthers are without two of their most impactful players in Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk. Without these two, the Panthers have been spinning their tires offensively. They are averaging only 2.45 goals per game through 11 games this year, which is fourth-worst in the NHL. The depth of this team is just not the same without them, and they may be over matched by the Stars.

The Stars come into this game with a 3-1-1 road record and they will be looking to bounce back from their 2-1 overtime loss they suffered in Tampa Bay. The Stars forward group is deep, young and skilled. They are very solid defensively and backed by one of the best goalies in the league, Jake Oettinger. The books have the Stars as underdogs in this game, and I think there is some good value there. Give me the road underdogs in this one.
