Pick
I’m backing the over in this one. This game features a Blackhawks team that can’t keep the puck out of the net at the best of times, against a Dallas Stars team that just looks like they’re overworking their goaltending in Jake Oettinger who also might not be used to this kind of heavy workload. Either way I think we’re marked for a high-scoring game in this one, so give me the over here.
