Flames at Stars picks and predictions

Prediction

Stars 4, Flames 3

Moneyline

BET STARS (-130).

Calgary has struggled against the top teams in the league lately and is 0-5 in its last 5 games vs. teams with a winning record. Meanwhile, Dallas has made sure to not play down to the level of its competition and has won 39 of its last 57 games vs. teams with a sub-.500 record. Look for the Stars to get revenge after losing 2 straight games vs. the Flames dating back to last year.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

Out of Calgary’s last 6 losses, only 2 have been by multiple goals. Flames +1.5 (-230) should hit, but Calgary is being slightly overvalued on the puck line. Bet the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 5.5 (-130).

The Over is 4-1 in Calgary’s last 5 road games and 3-0-1 in Dallas’ last 4 vs. teams with a losing record. These teams tend to play high-scoring games vs. each other in Dallas, with the Over hitting in 4 of the last 5 meetings, and Monday’s matchup should be another offensive showcase.
