NHL Betting Trends
Dallas
The Stars are 2-5 in their last seven games versus the Pacific Division. Dallas is 1-4 in its last five games on one day of rest.
Las Vegas
The Golden Knights are 5-2 in their last seven Tuesday games. Las Vegas is 1-5 in its last six games as a favorite.
Prediction:
Las Vegas is getting a little too much love from oddsmakers for a team that has been highly inconsistent. The Golden Knights are coming into this one in poor form, while the Stars have some firepower. It’s not like Dallas is on a back-to-back either as yesterday was a rest day. The addition of Zuccarello helps the offense out considerably and I’ll gladly take a shot on the Stars at this price against a struggling team.
