Why Bet On Dallas?
The Stars on a nice roll, having won five of six including a 2-0 shutout win over Buffalo on Tuesday. Goaltender Ben Bishop stopped all 35 shots faced to get the win while extending his current shoutout streak to over 200 minutes. Dallas also ranks a phenomenal second in goals allowed (2.5 gpg).</p.

Expert Analysis and Prediction for Stars vs Wild
While 60 percent of NHL betting buffs are currently backing Minnesota to get it done at home in this affair, I’m going to encourage you to back Dallas seeing as how the Stars have gone 6-1 in their last 7 games against a team with a losing record and the Wild have limped to an uninspiring 1-4 mark in their last five games.
With Dallas looking to hold on to their slim playoff hopes, I like the Stars to get it done because of their lockdown defense.
NHL Betting Pick: Dallas 3 Minnesota 2
