Carolina Hurricanes vs Dallas Stars Prediction
I’m on the Hurricanes here. There are much better options for you to bet on Monday, not to say this isn’t a great game, there’s just not a ton of betting value. You have two fantastic teams with solid goaltending and Dallas is the hotter of the two, but Carolina’s lost just once on home ice and I think them getting back home here is the difference. Give me Carolina.
