Dallas vs Anaheim Prediction & Odds:
Free NHL Betting Insights for 1/13/26

The Stars vs. Ducks matchup on January 13 features a classic case of contrasting season narratives. Dallas has been one of the league’s more explosive offenses, consistently near the top in goals scored per game and flashing significant depth with stars like Jason Robertson and Mikko Rantanen leading the attack. Their road play has been particularly strong, and recent matchups have shown their ability to pounce early — evidenced by an 8–3 blowout in Anaheim in late December. Conversely, the Ducks carry a much different story into this contest, entering a substantial losing stretch that has seen them drop nine straight (and 13 of their last 15 overall) in all competitions. Anaheim’s struggles are most pronounced in defensive lapses and goaltending inconsistency, contributing to their skid that has frustrated bettors and fans alike.

Despite that, Anaheim’s home-ice edge and poised underdog performances have kept them competitive ATS lately. Betting lines reflect these dynamics, as do the divergent trends in total goals — with Ducks games tending to see higher scoring, while Stars contests often skewer under expectations. Key factors will include special teams execution, puck possession battles, and the ability of Dallas to maintain pressure early; Anaheim must find a way to stem the tide and generate sustained offense to snap their slide. Expect the Stars to control play through structured defense and potent transition scoring, while the Ducks lean on home support and opportunistic attack to keep the game within reach — though momentum heavily favors Dallas.

Dallas Stars NHL Preview

The Dallas Stars come in with mixed recent results but remain one of the more balanced and potent squads in the Western Conference. While their ATS record has been sloppy — going 2-4 in their last six — their ability to score in bunches and control games at both ends has kept them competitive across various matchups. Led by elite talents like Jason Robertson, Mikko Rantanen, and Wyatt Johnston, the Stars boast a high-powered offense that ranks near the top of the league. Their disciplined special teams and efficient power play further amplify scoring chances, and the defensive corps consistently supports goaltending to limit easy chances. Dallas’ road record stands out, with recent wins showing how they can dominate early and build leads — such as the 8–3 victory in Anaheim just weeks ago.

Their challenge will be maintaining that intensity and consistency without lapses that could allow Anaheim to sneak back in. Key for the Stars will be sustaining puck possession, capitalizing on offensive zone time, and neutralizing Ducks’ transition threats. If their goaltender delivers a solid performance and the offense clicks early, Dallas should remain in control. Their ability to adapt in in-game situations — especially when opponents tighten up defensively — will determine the margin of victory. Dallas’ physicality, depth scoring, and disciplined structure make them favorites here, and they’ll look to assert dominance from the opening faceoff to stifle Anaheim’s home ambitions.

Anaheim Ducks NHL Preview

Anaheim enters the matchup with a depleted confidence tank, having suffered multiple losses. Most recently, the Ducks dropped games to Buffalo and Carolina, underscoring offensive inconsistency and defensive breakdowns that have plagued them, even when top contributors like Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier tilt the ice. Their goaltending situation has been unsettled, and while occasional sparks arise — such as an overtime win against Carolina earlier in January last season — Anaheim’s current nine-game losing skid highlights a team needing critical adjustments. Offensively they are capable, ranking relatively high in goals scored per game across the season, and they still possess several skilled forwards capable of tilting momentum.

However, when defensive support collapses or special teams falter, Anaheim has struggled to maintain leads or generate clutch scoring. The home-ice environment at the Honda Center will be crucial as the Ducks try to leverage crowd energy and a favorable betting trend at home. To have success, Anaheim must tighten their defensive coverage, control the neutral zone and improve on faceoffs to fuel breakouts. Additionally, relying on contributions from secondary scoring will be paramount if star forwards are neutralized by Dallas’ sharp defensive unit. While the Ducks have shown resilience in spurts, this game will test whether they can regroup or continue their skid against a disciplined Stars team.
