Florida Panthers vs. Dallas Stars Prediction
I’m on the Dallas Stars here. I get the case to be made for Florida in some spots as they still deserve a bit of respect as the defending cup champs. However, Dallas is still the better team in my opinion here especially at home, and they’ve also been the far hotter and far more consistent team so far this season. I think the Stars get it done and at a reasonable price here as well. Give me the Stars in this one.
