The Penguins are starting to show themselves as a good team and it is about time. The Penguins are tied for second in the division with the Islanders and that is going to make it a challenge for the Islanders who could even fall back to the third spot if they are not able to win or the Penguins start to pick up quite a few of the wins they need to have.

Matt Murray is the player who has started to show up in the net for the Penguins on the season as he has managed to get 25 wins on the year. He has a 2.76 goals against average, but has managed to save 91.8% of the shots that have been sent his way on the season. With the Stars they sitting in the top wild card spot and that is going to be something the Stars would like to continue to do in this game here. However, the Stars are going to have a big challenge in this game here as the Penguins are a team that has been playing great on the season. What could also be a problem for the Stars is the fact the team has had a lot of problems when facing the better teams in the league.

Ben Bishop has been in the net most of the season for the Stars as he has picked up 25 wins on the season. He has been able to get a total of 2.05 goals a game allowed, but has saved 93.2% of the shots that he has faced.

The Stars are playing some great hockey on the year and with Bishop in net they have been hard to beat. Look for Murray to have some problems in this game at containing the Stars offense, which is weak, but the Stars defense will keep the puck in the hands of the offense. Final Score Prediction, Dallas Stars win 2-1.
