Stars vs Canucks Prediction 

Dallas comes into this matchup playing very well over their last five games, but they will be on a back-to-back in this game and will be on the road. The Stars are 17-12-1 on the road this year, while the Canucks are 13-10-7 at home. Vancouver has won two games in a row, but injuries have really derailed their season. The Canucks have lost four of their last seven games and they have scored three goals or fewer in 13 straight. I really don’t like how Vancouver is playing right now, so give me the Stars on the back-to-back here.
