💎 DALLAS STARS ML -110 ( 1u )

I absolutely am siked up for this game tonight! Make sure you tune in and grab some popcorn for tonight’s game! Both of these teams come into this game playing very well in recent games and both will be headed to the postseason. Dallas is currently leading the Central, while Winnipeg is battling Colorado for the second spot in the Central. Winnipeg has won four games in a row and they are 23-13-3 on the road, while Dallas has won 10 of their last 11 and are 24-10-4 at home. This should be a great game between two talented teams, but Dallas is 3-0 against Winnipeg this season and they are red hot right now. Take the Stars at home.
