Stars vs Red Wings Prediction

The Dallas Stars are the better team at home, where they’re 16-6-1 on the season. The Stars have also owned the Red Wings over the years. In fact, the Red Wings haven’t beaten the Stars since April 2021. I’m still grabbing the big plus money with the Red Wings. The Red Wings are playing their best hockey with wins in eight of their last 10 games and the offense is cruising. The Red Wings have scored four or more goals in eight of their last 10 games. Over that span, the Red Wings have made a $100 bettor more than $700 in profit. Until the hot hand runs cold, I’m going to keep grabbing the Red Wings and these favorable prices.
