Dallas Stars vs St. Louis Blues Prediction
The Blues as home dogs is attractive, but they’ve been hit or miss through four games, and their defense has been awful in losing efforts. The Stars are not only playing the better hockey, but they’re the more trustworthy team overall, and they’ve won 8 of the last 10 games against the Blues. The Blues usually have issues finding the back of the net when they run into the Stars. I’ll side with the Stars and the reasonable price on the road.
