Winnipeg Jets vs Dallas Stars Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/02/26

The Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets clash for an important Central Division matchup in the NHL on Thursday. As Winnipeg desperately surges to a playoff position, Dallas is in a battle for home-ice advantages, so there is plenty to play for tonight. To get you ready for this upcoming hockey action, here is our expert Jets vs. Stars prediction.

Winnipeg has been far hotter than Dallas, with a 4-1-1 record in their last 6, and while they are fighting for their lives, this will be a big challenge for them. Winnipeg has struggled on the road this season, winning just 13 of 35 appearances. Even with a playoff spot locked up, the Stars are both in range of the NHL lead, but also need to ensure the Minnesota Wild do not catch them. They will also be looking to return to the win column and build momentum after some recent shaky play. Both teams are dealing with injuries, and while Dallas may have a longer list, they have a deeper team with far more star talent taking the ice. Dallas has owned Winnipeg this season, winning all 3 contests, and I see them sweeping the season series in this game. We are siding with Dallas on the money line for our Jets vs. Stars prediction.
