In this Devils vs Stars Prediction, the Stars are coming as -162 home favorites. The Stars have been struggling lately with a 1-3 record in their last 4 games, while on the other hand, the Devils have been playing good hockey with a 7-3 record in their last 10 games. I still don’t trust the Devils on the road against a hungry Stars team looking to get back on track. The Stars have been better in every statistical category and they shut out the Devils in their previous meeting this season, so I like them in a bounce-back spot today. Take the Stars on the moneyline.
