Dallas Stars vs Los Angeles Kings prediction

The Dallas Stars may be on the end of a back to back, but they’ve been road warriors all year and are clearly the better team in this spot. The Los Angeles Kings are one of those teams that fall apart right when you’re ready to buy what they’re selling. Also, the Kings are better on the road than they are at home this season. The Kings are a subpar 13-10-7 at home. The Stars have won 4 of the last 5 meetings against the Kings, which includes a 5-1 win back in January. Pick ’em prices across the board, I’ll lean toward the Stars on the road.
