Stars Home Favorites To Take 3-1 Lead Over Jets In NHL Playoffs

• What: NHL Playoffs.
• Who: Winnipeg Jets at Dallas Stars
• When: Tuesday, May 13, 8:00 p.m.

The Winnipeg Jets are living a Jekyll-Hyde existence in the NHL playoffs. At home, they are a force to be reckoned with. Winnipeg Winnipeg has won five of six games this spring playing in front of the club's famous white out, when all fans wear white to the rink.

Away from home, though, it's as if someone poured White Out all over the Jets, rendering them invisible. They are 0-4 as a road team so far in these playoffs.

Trailing 2-1 to the Dallas Stars in second-round action and facing Game 4 on the road, the betting line is anticipating that Winnipeg's road woes will be continuing. Oddsmakers are going with the Stars as the -145 home chalk in the NHL playoff lines.

Let's look at the latest betting line on this game. Remember, odds are subject to change.

	Puck Line	Moneyline	Total
Winnipeg Jets	+1.5 (-215)	+125	O 5.5 (-122)
Dallas Stars	-1.5 (+178)	-145	U 5.5 (+102)

Winnipeg dropped Game 1 of this series to Dallas, and that's a bad omen. In franchise history, the Jets have never rebounded to win a playoff series after dropping the opener of the set.

This is the only game on the NHL playoffs docket for Tuesday night. Naturally, it's making this game the one that we think provides the best value bet of the night in the NHL playoffs.

Road A Hellscape For Jets' Hellebuyck

Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner. He's favored to win the award as the NHL's top goaltender again this season. Yet in the playoffs, it's come to this - should Winnipeg consider benching Hellebuyck for Game 4 of this series?

Hellebuyck's road woes in the NHL post season are spectacularly disastrous. He's given up at least four goals in each of Winnipeg's four away games. He was chased from the net in all three road games in the first round against the St. Louis Blues.

Stars' Rantanen Maintaining Incredible Roll

No player is tearing up the NHL playoffs at the pace that Stars forward Mikko Rantanen is exhibiting. He's accounted for 17 points over the past six games, scoring nine goals and assisting on eight other tallies.

He was good for a goal and two assists in the 5-2 win by Dallas over Winnipeg in Game 3. If you're looking to someone to play in NHL player props, or to factor into a same-game parlay, overall, Rantanen has figured in 15 of the last 17 goals that Dallas has scored.
