The Dallas Stars are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, where they’re 19-8-4 this season. The Stars have also won 5 straight games, and they’re firing on all cylinders during this streak. With that said, we’re getting plus money with the Panthers, arguably the best team in the league and the favorite to win the cup at many books. You’re not going to get the Panthers as underdogs often. I’ll take it while I still can. Give me the Panthers.
