Los Angeles Kings vs. Dallas Stars Prediction

I’m on Dallas here. I just don’t see Dallas continuing to struggle here, and the Kings managed to pull one out against the Blues, but I think that game was more about the Blues choking it away than it was about the Kings pulling it out. The Stars are the better team, and I think that they bounce back here to snap this slide. Give me the Stars at home in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Dallas -165
