Stars vs Mammoth Prediction
I’m on the Stars in this one. The Mammoth just hasn’t been the same team when you take them out on the road. I just feel like the Stars are not only the hotter team here, but they’re also strong at home in their own right. I think Dallas ends up picking up the win here. Give me Dallas in this one.
