Flames vs Stars Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline bet in this one, we have the Stars coming out on top. However, with the lines sitting at -232, I’d recommend looking to the puck line as our projections have the Stars winning by more than one goal.

For a puck line pick, we are going with the Stars to win and cover. Look for the Stars to win this one by multiple goals over the Flames.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
