The Dallas Stars weren’t playing good hockey the last time we saw them, and now they’ll play for the first time in a week. It’s tough to expect much from the Stars in this game given potential rust. The Florida Panthers continue to flex their muscle as one of the best teams in the league and they have one of the best offenses in the league. Tough spot for the Stars to return to the ice. Give me the Panthers and the cheap price.
