The NHL action continues this weekend, as the Dallas Stars host the Carolina Hurricanes on Oct 25.
It has been a damaging start to the campaign for the Stars, and they come into this weekend after losing each of their last four games.
The Carolina Hurricanes have enjoyed a contrasting start to the campaign, and they will have their sights set on top spot in the Metropolitan Division on Saturday evening.

The Dallas Stars have endured a miserable start to the NHL campaign, and they already sit second bottom in the Central Division.
Furthermore, only the Calgary Flames are currently on a longer losing streak in the Western Conference.
The Stars have suffered defeats in their last four games, which includes a loss against the Los Angeles Kings last time out. Despite pushing the Kings to their limit, the Stars were eventually beaten in the overtime period.
It has been a solid enough start to the season for the Carolina Hurricanes. They currently sit second in the Metropolitan Division after going 6-1-0 across their opening seven games.
They showed their character in their previous outing, as they bounced back to winning ways at the first attempt. However, the shootout win only tells half of the story.
The Hurricanes led 4-1 after the opening period, before they squandered that advantage in the following two periods.
| TOTAL | Hurricanes | Stars | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 99 | 40 | 53 | - |
| GOALS | 637 | 296 | 341 |
These two sides have endured contrasting starts to the NHL season. Despite a defensively weak performance in their latest outing, the Hurricanes should be more than capable of getting back on track this Saturday.
Therefore, we like the chances of a home win when making Hurricanes vs. Stars picks.
