Panthers vs Stars Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Panthers to defeat the Stars while playing on the road. Given the current moneyline odds at -108, I’m placing a wager on the Panthers to win outright.

Our projections have the Panthers pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Panthers, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
