New York Rangers vs Dallas Stars Prediction
The New York Rangers have won 5 of the last 7 games against the Stars, so it’s worth taking a look at the plus money. However, the Rangers continue to sit in a slump with losses in 7 of their last 10 games and the offense just can’t get going. The Rangers have scored 2 or fewer goals in 6 of their last 10 games. The Dallas Stars have seen 13 of their 19 wins come on their home ice. I just can’t get there with the Rangers, a team that’s watching their season slip away. Of course, I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
