Stars vs. Canadiens Pick
Stars vs. Canadiens Moneyline Pick
- Stars -118
Montreal was just handled by a Kings team that has been strong on the road this season and they don’t get a break here either. Dallas is 5-1-2 as the visiting team on the year entering this contest. The Stars have won three straight and four of their last five games, putting up 19 goals in that span. Montreal comes in losers of three of their previous four contests, allowing 16 goals in that stretch. Given the way the Canadiens have looked of late, coupled with Dallas’ strong performances on the road, you have to give the advantage to the visitors here as not even Dobes can bail out the hosts.
Stars vs. Canadiens Over/Under Pick
- Under 6.5 (-130) (4 units)
Dallas has seen the under post a 9-8 mark in their 17 games on the season. The Stars have posted an average total of six goals per game on the season and that number climbs slightly to 6.13 goals per game on the road this season. Montreal has seen the over post an 11-3-2 mark on this season. The Canadiens have an average total of 6.81 goals per game with an average of seven goals in their eight home games. Each of the last three meetings have fallen short of the total and with Dobes along with Oettinger in net, this one likely follows suit as five or six goals is where things top out in the game.
