Vancouver Canucks vs Dallas Stars Prediction

The Canucks have put together a strong week, which includes underdog wins over the Predators and Blues, so I wouldn’t blame you if you were looking at the plus money. The Canucks have also won seven of the last 10 games against the Stars. The Canucks have also had success on the road this season. The problem is the Stars are just too consistent to step in front of, especially at home where they’re 18-7-1 on the season. The Stars are also back to their strong defensive ways, where they’ve allowed three or fewer goals in nine of their last 10 games. I can’t go against the Stars in this spot, and of course, I’ll lay the PL to shave down the juice.
