The stars on the Stars played like the stars – Tyler Seguin had a hat trick and Jamie Benn had a goal and three assists – each player\u2019s first points of the season so far.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=16&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Jason Spezza and Ales Hemsky have yet to make a splash \u2013 each has just one assist in Dallas\u2019s three games thus far.<\/p>\n With their best players finally looking like their best players, Dallas has a real chance of picking up just where it left off on Tuesday night – the Pens have allowed six goals in their two games so far and have surrendered five power play goals against in 11 shorthanded opportunities.<\/p>\n Kari Lehtonen should get the start Thursday – he has a nice 1.92 GAA so far this season with a .934 save percentage. However he’s 2-3-1 with a 3.15 goals-against average in his last six starts against the Penguins.<\/p>\n The Pittsburgh Penguins have only played two games this year – 120 minutes of hockey and already Sid Crosby is drawing rave reviews. Sid has an incredible three goals and three assists thus far and has looked dominant each and every time he’s been out on the ice.<\/p>\n New line mate Patric Hornqvist has two goals and two assists already while Sid’s other line mate Chris Kunitz has a goal and an assist already.<\/p>\n Evgeni Malkin and Pascal Dupuis each have a goal and three assists, and eight Pens have at least two points in Pittsburgh’s first two games – explosive as ever.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=64161&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Pittsburgh has netted 11 goals already this season but they have given up six \u2013 and that could be a problem. Marc-Andre Fleury has been just OK in posting a .889 save percentage thus far.<\/p>\n \u2022 DAL are 8-20 in their last 28 road games. Pittsburgh has won eight of the last 10 meetings between the two teams but something about having five days off between games has me a little hesitant to go with the home team. Dallas cranked it up Tuesday and should be able to do some damage against Pittsburgh\u2019s Achilles heel \u2013 their defense.<\/p>\n The Stars will be out to make a statement in this one \u2013 that their offseason moves weren\u2019t in vain. I think they get it done and reward their backers with a pretty nice payday.<\/p>\n Dallas Stars +153<\/strong><\/p>\n CappersPicks.com NHL Betting<\/a> and gambling site provides the BEST Online hockey predictions<\/a> for you to bet on for the NHL hockey season!
