Blues vs Stars Prediction

If you’re interested in a pure moneyline wager, then the Stars is the preferred option. However, with a payout of -236, it might be worth considering this bet as a component of a larger parlay.

If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Blues to cover. Even if the Stars manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Blues should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
