For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Stars to pick up on a win over the Golden Knights and the road. With the moneyline sitting at -106, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Stars straight-up.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Stars winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Stars straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to 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.
