Carolina Hurricanes vs Dallas Stars Prediction
The Stars will get their act together eventually, but they’re in terrible form right now, with 4 straight losses and a defense that I don’t recognize. The Stars are getting lit up and are at the bottom of every major defensive category. The Hurricanes are rolling at both ends of the ice, and they’re second in goals per game and shots per game. If the Stars form holds, this has a chance to get ugly. Give me the Canes and the cheap price.
