Red Wings vs Stars Prediction

When it comes to a straight moneyline bet, look no further than the Stars. Nevertheless, given the payout of -214, you could also think about incorporating this bet into a parlay.

For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Red Wings to cover. Even if the Stars secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Red Wings should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
