• The Senators have covered the puck line in eight of their last nine games against the Stars.

Why the Dallas Stars will win

• The Senators have lost six of their last seven night games.
• The Senators have failed to cover the puck line in six of their last seven games against opponents on a winning streak.

Dallas Stars vs Ottawa Senators Prediction

The Ottawa Senators are getting too much respect from oddsmakers, and this line makes no sense. The Senators have lost six of their last eight games and their offense continues to come up short. The Dallas Stars have won seven straight games and haven’t lost since December 27. The Stars have scored three or more goals in six of their last eight games. If that sort of production continues, the struggling Senators are going to have a hard time keeping up. The Stars also blasted the Senators a little over a week ago by a score of 4-2. Why this line is so soft is a bit puzzling. The Stars are one of the better teams in the league, and the Senators can’t get out of their own way. I’ll gladly lay the cheap price with the Stars on the road, one of the better bets on Sunday’s NHL card.
