Stars vs Flames Prediction

The Flames have nothing to play for so this is a spot where the Stars should stop the bleeding. We saw the Stars wax the Flames a month ago on the road, 6-1. However, the Stars are having a rough couple of weeks and are burning a hole in their pocket. The Stars have lost a lot lately and some of these losses are in the favorite role. The Flames are surprisingly winning games lately and have been profitable over their last 10 games. The Stars probably win, but I’ll still take a shot in the dark with the big dog on the road anyway.
