Ducks vs Stars Prediction
The Dallas Stars are obviously the better, more trustworthy team, and they’ve won eight of the last 10 games against the Ducks. The Stars should be decent-sized favorites. The problem is the Ducks are playing winning hockey all of a sudden, which includes wins in four of their last five games and an offense that’s caught fire. The Ducks have made a $100 bettor more than $400 in profit over their last 10 games. You’re getting almost two times your money with the Ducks at home. Again the Stars should be favored and should win. I’ll still take a shot in the dark with the Ducks.
