Dallas Stars vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction
I’m on the Stars here. I wanted to find a way to try to get some value with the Ducks, but the Ducks are simply far less effective on the road compared to their numbers at home. The Ducks are scoring well below two goals per game away from home, and I just don’t see any value in them when the Stars have been so sound defensively up to this point. I think Dallas will find a way to win this one by a margin, so give me Dallas -1.5.
