Hurricanes vs. Stars Prediction
I’m on the under here. These are two teams that are red hot right now and two teams that I really don’t have any interest in stepping in front of, but both have got to where they are because of solid defense and solid goaltending up to this point. I think this has potential to be a 3-2 game whichever way you slice it, so give me the under.
