The current betting odds have the Stars listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Stars have looked really good in their games all season with their 32-14-6 record overall which has them leading their division in the West with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have also looked great on home ice this year with their 16-8-2 home record. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes have also looked good in their games this season with their 30-16-5 record overall which has them in 2nd place of their division in the East and holding down a playoff spot right now. They have been up and down this season with a lot of movement in the division but they have also been hot lately with their 7-3-0 record in their last 10 games. They haven't looked as good in their road games though with their 13-10-1 road record and the Stars have not only been great on home ice this year but they have also been hot lately themselves, going 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. Both of these teams have been playing good defense lately too but the Stars have the advantage here being on home ice with momentum on their side. The best way to place a bet here is on the Stars to win this game.

“It was a good play by (Necas) to cut through the middle and get a shot off. The rebound kind of came right into me. Although, it was midair it was still in the wheelhouse and I tapped it in.” - Sebastian Aho after their win against the Devils in their game on Saturday.

“We knew that tonight, at the end of a trip, this is either going to be a good trip ... or a poor trip. So there was some desperation to our game and I think that showed and in some of the areas that we had success.” - Peter DeBoer after his team’s win against the Canadiens in their game on Saturday.
