Calgary Flames vs. Dallas Stars Prediction
I’m on the Stars here. The Dallas Stars continue to play their best hockey at home and while the Calgary Flames got on the board in their last matchup, it doesn’t change the fact that Calgary has been far less effective at home this season and that the Flames will likely struggle to break through here. The Stars are a machine at home and I don’t feel like stepping in front of them here. Give me Dallas in this one.
