New Jersey Devils vs. Dallas Stars Prediction

I’m on the Dallas Stars here. I just don’t love how inconsistent the Devils have been in their recent run of form, and the Dallas Stars are not a team that you can have inconsistencies against because Dallas just seems like they do everything really well. The Stars are also on another roll as of late and I think Dallas takes care of business at home here so give me the Stars in this one.
