Dallas Stars vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction
We’ve been fading the Canucks all season and there’s no reason to stop now. The Canucks are awful at both ends of the ice and they’ve actually been even worse on their home ice. Meanwhile, the Stars haven’t lost a game in more than a month and they’re firing on all cylinders. Just two teams heading in different directions. This has a chance to get ugly. Give me the Stars and the PL for max betting value and I’d even play with some alternate lines for an even sweeter payout. This game has no business being competitive.
