Dallas scored only once against New Jersey, leaving Mikko Rantanen and Roope Hintz without a point. Jason Robertson still put three shots on goal. That difference matters for Stars parlay picks against Montreal: a scoring contribution and a modest shooting total ask for different things, even from players in the same offense.
For a hypothetical Dallas win over the Canadiens, this Side & Support edition compares one point from Rantanen, one from Hintz and two shots on goal from Robertson. Rantanen has the stronger historical winning-game point record. Hintz offers the less expensive point price, while Robertson’s shooting mark has been similarly attainable across wins and other Dallas results.
The Stars are 7–4–1 after the 5–1 loss to the Devils. Montreal arrives 7–3–2 and has won three straight. The player records below help you choose a contribution around your view of the result; they don’t turn that view into a prediction or prescribe a three-player parlay.
Three Stars player props to compare
These records cover each player’s Dallas appearances from the 2025–26 season through October 27, including the playoffs. Actual ice time is required, and each all-game comparison uses the same dates and participation rules as its winning-game record. Games for other clubs aren’t included.
These are individual DraftKings prices checked Thursday, October 29. Prices can change, and the live card above has its own update for the game markets.

Mikko Rantanen: 1+ point at −260
Rantanen recorded a point in 42 of 48 Dallas wins (87.5%), compared with 61 of 82 Stars appearances overall (74.4%). That makes one point a useful contribution to compare with a Dallas-win premise, without requiring him to score a goal himself.
He has a point in all seven Dallas wins in which he has played this season, and eight of twelve appearances overall. The most recent successes came in different ways: a hat trick against Boston, two assists against Winnipeg and a goal against the Islanders. The longer record gives that current run context, rather than treating seven games as enough evidence by themselves.
The latest New Jersey game brought no points and no shots on goal in 17:29. That matters even though Dallas lost: it shows that a normal night on the ice doesn’t ensure an individual contribution. His preceding Islanders game brought a goal in 18:52. The change in production wasn’t simply a move from barely playing to a full workload.
At 2+ points, the offered price was +175. That larger return comes with a much stronger requirement: Rantanen reached two in only 19 of 48 Dallas wins and 27 of 82 appearances overall. Moving from one point to two removes 23 successes from the winning sample. His recent hat trick and two-assist game are reasons to notice the higher rung, but not to give it the same historical case as one point.
There are six scoreless Dallas wins in the full sample. Rantanen had no point in 18:33 in the April 15 win over Buffalo and no point in 18:25 in the April 11 win over the Rangers. He’s listed on Dallas’s second line at right wing. One point is the lower scoring task to consider, with those winning-game misses still part of the choice.
Roope Hintz: 1+ point at −170
Hintz offers a less expensive way to ask for a Dallas scoring contribution. He recorded a point in 31 of 38 Stars wins (81.6%), compared with 40 of 65 Dallas appearances overall (61.5%). The difference between results is substantial, with seven Dallas wins still finishing without a Hintz point.
His current season is encouraging within Dallas wins: six successes in seven, compared with seven in twelve appearances overall. He had two goals against Winnipeg and two assists against the Islanders, then no point in the New Jersey loss. His ice time across those three games was 15:20, 16:17 and 13:13. He’s listed at first-line center for this matchup, while the most recent game shows that his workload can still vary.
The current winning-game miss came at Colorado, where he had no point in 18:05 in Dallas’s 3–2 victory. An older example came in the January 31 Eastern-time win at Utah, when he was scoreless in 15:56. Those are useful reminders that Dallas can get the required scoring elsewhere and still win.
The alternative 2+ points price was +275. Hintz reached two in only 11 of 38 Stars wins and 12 of 65 appearances overall. It is a very different proposition from the −170 one-point offer. Moving up removes twenty successes from the winning sample; the recent two-goal and two-assist nights don’t make that distinction disappear.
The practical comparison with Rantanen is straightforward. Hintz’s individual price offers more return, with a lower historical frequency in Dallas wins and a smaller sample. Rantanen costs more at −260 but has the stronger winning record. Neither record proves that its current price is a bargain. Choose between the roles and requirements you find convincing, rather than assuming both players must record a point for Dallas to win.
Jason Robertson: 2+ shots on goal at −500
Robertson’s shooting offer has a different foundation. He reached two shots on goal in 54 of 59 Dallas wins (91.5%) and 91 of 100 Stars appearances overall (91.0%). That tiny difference means the case is consistent shooting activity across results, rather than a major increase when Dallas wins.
He has cleared two shots in eleven of twelve games this season, including all seven Dallas wins. His last three games produced four shots against Winnipeg, three against the Islanders and three against New Jersey. He played 21:42, 18:58 and 18:51. The latest loss illustrates why you might separate this offer from the point props: Robertson reached his shooting requirement even while Rantanen and Hintz finished scoreless.
The lower requirement comes at the shortest price in this table. 3+ shots was −180, compared with −500 for two. Robertson reached three in 41 of 59 Dallas wins and 67 of 100 appearances overall. The extra shot removes thirteen successes from the winning sample. Three has landed in nine of twelve games this season, but that stronger recent run doesn’t erase the fuller comparison.
Two shots can still fail with meaningful ice time and a Dallas win. Robertson had one in 17:26 in the April 15 victory over Buffalo and one in 22:04 in the March 10 Eastern-time win over Vegas. His only current-season miss came against Nashville, with one shot in 18:50.
He’s listed on Dallas’s first line at left wing. The two-shot choice is worth considering if you want a volume requirement that doesn’t need a goal or assist. At −500, the amount it adds is modest, so it should earn its place in your decision rather than become an automatic extra leg. Its high historical frequency isn’t a guarantee or a combined-parlay probability.
Choosing your Dallas route
Rantanen’s one point has the stronger winning-game scoring record, while Hintz offers a lower individual price for the same basic scoring requirement. Robertson’s two shots have the most consistent record across all Dallas results, with a much shorter price. The New Jersey game shows how those contributions can separate on the same night.
Rantanen and Hintz can both collect points on one goal, and Robertson’s shots come from the same Dallas offense. Their separate histories don’t establish independent outcomes or a combined success rate. Pick the contribution that best matches the game you expect, and use an actual sportsbook quote if you combine selections.
