Saturday’s 13-game NHL slate has something for every kind of bettor.

The Stars, on the other hand, put the pedal down on the road against the Predators in their curtain-raiser and were full value for their 4-3 victory in Nashville. Their defensive structure under Patrick Roy should be a strength, they’ve got a great goaltending tandem and there’s enough offensive spark to make them dangerous, but the Islanders made a concerning amount of mistakes against Utah and that sloppiness will be punished dearly against the Stars.
I would argue that both of these teams were a little overrated by the betting market and hockey public coming into 2024-25, but there’s no doubt in my mind that Nashville is the stronger team in this matchup. First and foremost is that their No. 1 overall pick, Macklin Celebrini, brought the goods in his NHL debut on Thursday with a goal and assist. He was terrific.
