New Jersey Devils vs. Dallas Stars Prediction
I’m on the Devils here. The Devils are just playing too well to go against right now despite the loss to the Capitals last time out and the goalscoring continues to be an issue with Dallas to get behind them here. I think New Jersey gets it done in this one here so give me the Devils and the plus money here.
