Nashville Predators vs Dallas Stars prediction
The Nashville Predators and the plus money is worth a look, but the Stars have been very consistent on their home ice, where they’re 13-7-2 on the season. The Stars have also won 5 of the last 6 meetings against the Predators, and the meeting a few days ago was competitive. The Stars’ offense has picked up over the last week or so, and they have done a decent job of cashing in these big favorite roles. I’ll side with the Stars, and I’ll take the PL to shave down an expensive price.
