Pick
I’m sticking with the Stars here as they’re the only team with anything of real consequence to play for in this game and the Flyers are looking like they’ve just mailed it in on the season. Dallas has also owned this matchup in recent years and in all fairness, it hasn’t been all that close. Give me the Stars -1.5 here.
