Stars vs Red Wings Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight - NHL

The Detroit Red Wings are set to host the Dallas Stars, and even with the Red Wings in the midst of an impressive heater, it’s the Stars trading as the betting favorite in the NHL odds.

Detroit is dazzling along a 7-1-1 January run, which includes a pair of statement wins over the Kings in addition to topping the Maple Leafs, Panthers, and Lightning. 

While Dallas hasn’t been quite as hot, the Stars have also been hanging near the top of the Stanley Cup odds for most of the season. Big D also got a big boost with No. 1 goalie Jake Oettinger returning from a lower-body injury earlier this month. 

This looks to be one of the better games on the ice tonight, so read on for my free NHL picks for the Stars vs. Red Wings on Tuesday, January 23.

Stars vs Red Wings odds

Stars vs Red Wings predictions

The Detroit Red Wings are overachieving, and this hasn’t been lost on oddsmakers as the Dallas Stars are sizable road favorites. Detroit ranks second-last in Corsi For percentage (41.9%) and last in expected goals for percentage (41.4%) at 5-on-5 during its noted 7-1-1 stretch in January.

Winning with those metrics is unsustainable long term, and there is statistical correction ahead. The Wings won’t maintain their 11.36 team shooting percentage nor the .935 team SV%, and we’ve already seen an example of them coming up short against the Hurricanes on Friday.

Detroit was limited to just two high-danger scoring chances and 0.8 expected goals by the Canes, and the Stars have a similar style of play. Dallas ranks eighth in CF% (52.4%) while allowing the third-fewest expected goals per 60 minutes (2.29) at 5-on-5, and they boast a third-ranked 84.9% PK.

Additionally, my numbers reinforce the talent and statistical gap between the two teams. Dallas ranks fourth in offense and fifth in my defense ratings, while Detroit ranks 20th and 29th respectively.

There’s also the goaltending elephant in the room. Alex Lyon has been the fuel behind the January surge with a .927 SV%, however, his 17 starts this season are already a career-high total. Lyon has a -0.16 goals saved above average and 24.59 expected goals against compared to his actual 20 allowed through his eight January appearances. I’m skeptical he can continue this high-end play while starting nearly every game.

The -125 price on Stars moneyline I backed Monday is no longer available, so I’m pivoting to Dallas in regulation through PROLINE+ because the +105 odds are in line with the available prices across the industry.

My best bet: Stars in regulation (+105 at PROLINE+)

Under 6.5 goals

+225 at PROLINE+

The Red Wings are on an unsustainable run and set for statistical correction in a number of areas. Dallas is an opponent capable of kick-starting the process and exposing Detroit’s shortcomings, and in particular, there’s a huge gap in the previously highlighted 5-on-5 metrics. 

Additionally, I’m not anticipating Alex Lyon’s play to fall off a cliff, and there has been line movement to the Under 6.5 since the market opened Monday. I especially value Dallas allowing the third-fewest expected goals per 60 at 5-on-5 and ranking third in penalty-kill percentage. I expect quality chances to be difficult to come by for Detroit.

Stars vs Red Wings moneyline and Over/Under analysis

As discussed, there has been line movement to the Dallas side since odds opened Monday. Still, while the Stars remain a healthy road favorite, there has been a buyback on Detroit as of Tuesday morning. As a result, I’m not expecting to see significant adjustments to the moneyline leading into puck drop because the market has already stabilized. 

This total has my interest because Dallas checks out highly in my defense rankings, and Detroit has the noted statistical correction ahead of its shooting efficiency. There also has been the mentioned line movement to the Under 6.5, which aligns with my handicap. Again, though, I doubt we see any huge odds shifts or a 6.0 total become available.

Over 3,000 migrants have hit NYC shelter time limit, report says

About 3,000 asylum-seekers have been told their time was up in New York City shelters, but about half have reapplied to stay NEW YORK -- About 3,000 asylum-seekers have been told their time was up in New York City shelters, but about half have reapplied to stay, according to a newspaper report. The United States' most populous city has struggled to contend with the arrival of over 120,000 asylum-seekers in the past year. About 60,000 are currently in shelter s run by the city, which is legally required to provide emergency housing to homeless people. The obligation is unmatched in any other major U.S. city. Mayor Eric Adams announced in July that New York would start giving adult migrants 60 days' notice to move out of city shelter s. The policy has since been extended to families with children, and tightened to 30 days for adults not accompanied by youngsters. Migrants, many of whom don't have legal authorization to work, can reapply for shelter if they can't find...

Israel's High Court hears a challenge to a law that makes it harder to remove Netanyahu from office

Israel’s Supreme Court is hearing a challenge to a law that makes it harder to remove a sitting prime minister JERUSALEM -- Israel’s Supreme Court on Thursday was hearing a challenge to a law that makes it harder to remove a sitting prime minister, which critics say is designed to protect Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who has been working to reshape the justice system while he is on trial for alleged corruption. The hearing is part of several pivotal court challenge s against a proposed package of legislation and government steps meant to alter the country's justice system. It comes after months of turmoil in Israel over the plan and deepens a rift between Netanyahu's government and the judiciary, which it wants to weaken despite unprecedented opposition. Thursday's hearing on the law, the second by the High Court, took place in front of an expanded 11-judge panel, underscoring the importance of the deliberations. Netanyahu’s governing coalition — Israel’s most religi...
