Dallas Stars vs Nashville Predators Prediction
It’s not ideal for the Stars to be on the end of a back-to-back, but they looked so bad against the Blues that they should be eager for a bounce-back performance. The Predators have had issues over the years stepping up in competition, and home ice hasn’t meant that much for them. The Stars usually have an offensive field day when facing the Preds. We’re getting a low price on the better, more talented team. I’ll gladly side with the Stars on the road in a bounce-back spot.
