Dallas Stars vs Carolina Hurricanes prediction
The Dallas Stars and plus money is always attractive given what they’ve done this season, and they’ve been great on the road this year where they’re 17-8-5. The Stars also beat the Canes a little over a week ago by a score of 4-2. However, the Hurricanes and cheap prices at home is just as appealing, and the home team has won 5 of the last 8 meetings in this series. Also, we just saw the Hurricanes put water on the Panthers road winning streak in a shutout victory. The Hurricanes are now 19-6-4 at home this season. The price is cheap. I’ll side with the Canes at home in what should be a must-watch NHL contest.
