Lupe Hintz has been nearly a point-per-game player this season, earning eight points over his last nine outings and showing no sign of slowing down. My prediction for the Stars vs. Blues game is that Hintz will continue his streak with another strong performance against a struggling St. Louis team that seems to be in constant trouble.
Looking ahead to NHL action on Tuesday, January 27th, here’s a detailed breakdown of our predictions.
Stars vs. Blues Predictions
Best Bet: Lupe Hintz scores at least 0.5 points (-145).
Hintz has consistently been a thorn in the side of the Blues, with points in four of his last five matchups against them, totaling eight points in that span. He’s well-rested, which bodes well for his continued success. While data on rest periods is limited, Hintz has accumulated eight points across eight games after two days off this season, with scoring in four of those games.
The Blues currently rank 28th in goals allowed and have faced difficulties in making saves all season. Their penalty kill, at 29th, further hampers their ability to prevent scoring. Conversely, the Stars boast the second-best power play percentage at 29.1%, making Hintz and the Dallas squad likely to capitalize.
Same Game Parlay
- Miro Heiskanen has 1.5 or more shots (noted he had multiple shots in seven of ten games against bottom-five shot-allowing defenses, including a two-shot game against the Blues recently).
- Mikko Rantanen has scored 11 goals in his last 10 games against the Blues, and with their goaltending and penalty kill struggles—plus Rantanen’s ranking fifth in power play points—they remain a danger to score again.
Sample Parlay (SGP):
- Hintz scores 0.5+ points
- Heiskanen takes 1.5+ shots
- Rantanen scores the game’s first goal or is the all-time leading scorer
Odds Overview
- Moneyline: Stars +130, Blues -150
- Puck line: Stars -1.5 (+160), Blues +1.5 (-190)
- Over/Under: 5.5 or more (-115), less than 5.5 (-105)
