Our Dallas Stars vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction

My first thought was to go with Dallas against the puck line since the Stars had been pretty competitive in four of five games during the losing streak. However, the price is not advantageous for bettors (-205). Because Dallas has been competitive, laying the points and taking Carolina is not recommended. That leaves the moneyline or TOTAL. I find the most value in the Dallas moneyline. They just need one or two more plays to go their way to get back on track.
