Our Best Bet:

Dallas Stars 3-Way Moneyline (-120)

Even though the Stars have dropped a few games recently, this is a great bounce-back spot at home against a Utah team that struggles on the road. Dallas has won the last three meetings and has a clear edge in both goaltending and offensive depth. Oettinger’s current form is elite, while Utah has been vulnerable defensively and inefficient on the power play. With the Stars pushing to gain momentum before the playoffs, expect a convincing win on home ice.
