Dallas Stars vs NY Islanders Prediction
It’s still early in the season, but the way the NY Islanders lost their season opener could have a carry-over effect. The Islanders had multiple leads just to allow a last-minute goal and then fold in overtime. The Islanders have had success against the Dallas Stars in the past, splitting the last 10 games, but this isn’t an ideal spot to bounce back. The Stars are a balanced team, tough defensively, and usually trustworthy at home. The price is fair. Give me the Stars to start the season off with two victories.
