Winnipeg Jets vs Dallas Stars Prediction
The Jets and the plus money is worth a look when you consider they’ve won 62 games this season. The Jets are a great hockey team, and the Stars have had games over the last month where the offense just can’t get going. With that said, the Jets have yet to win a road game in these playoffs and haven’t won a road game overall since April 12. At some point I have to see it. The Stars have won five straight home games and have 33 home wins this season overall. The home team has won seven of the last nine games between the Jets and Stars. The home / road splits are quite overwhelming and is why I’m leaning toward the Stars in game 6.
