Calgary Flames vs. Dallas Stars Prediction
I’m on the over here. I get the case to be made for either side in this game but frankly I don’t trust the Flames on the road and I can’t trust the Stars in their current form. I think this is a situation where I’m expecting some goals so give me the over here.
