Dallas Stars vs. San Jose Sharks Prediction
I’m on the Sharks here. I just think that San Jose is still playing some really solid hockey right now, and while the Stars are one of the better teams in the NHL that might’ve finally gotten out of their slump, this line still feels slightly disrespectful to the improvement that the Sharks have shown this season and I think San Jose can get it done here. Give me the Sharks.
