Betting Tip
This bet is as safe as a bet can be. You have a home team that needs a win to clinch the playoff spot on the one end and the worst team in the conference that was on a ten-game losing streak and will miss eight players in the game. So, Dallas absolutely needs this win to finally set them apart from the Golden Knights who are right behind them.
Even more, with a win, the Stars may climb higher than the eighth seed which means they will avoid a matchup against the Colorado Avalanche in the opening playoff round.
