The Dallas Stars are heating up in the Western Conference with four wins in their last five games, positioning them as real contenders. They face off against the red-hot Utah Mammoth tonight, a team that's won nine of its last 12. This marks the second matchup between them this season, after the Stars edged out a 4-3 victory back in late November. Both teams have been scoring machines lately.
What recent performance trends are shaping the Dallas Stars and Utah Mammoth matchup?
Utah has lit the lamp 44 times over those 12 games, while allowing just 29. The Stars mirror that fire over a shorter stretch, netting 18 goals and giving up only 12 in their recent five-game run. A big spark for Dallas comes from forward Matt Duchesne, who snapped out of a slump.
After just three points in nine games, he's now tallied four goals in his last three outings, looking like his dominant old self and giving the team a huge offensive boost. Utah counters with one of the league's top duos in Nick Schmaltz and Clayton Keller.
Those two have combined for eight goals during the streak, with Keller dishing out 11 assists as an elite playmaker. Fans are buzzing about this clash in the Mile High City, where the Stars have won two of three visits historically. Look for Dallas lines like Krikowian with Johnston and Rantanen up top, and a strong blue line featuring Lindell and Heiskanen. It should be a high-energy battle between two surging squads.
