Winnipeg Jets vs. Dallas Stars Prediction
I’m on Dallas here. I just feel like I can trust Dallas more in their current form, as just when I thought Winnipeg had turned a corner was when the Jets decided to remember that they’re the Jets and have been struggling for much of the year. Dallas has gotten back on track and I think the Stars get the win at home here. Give me Dallas.
