Senators vs Stars Prediction 

Dallas comes into this matchup on a lengthy winning streak and they are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now, but they will be on the road for this game. The Stars are 11-8-0 on the road, while the Senators are 10-7-1 at home. Ottawa snapped a four game losing streak with a win on Saturday, but they have scored two goals or fewer in four of their last five games. Dallas is one of the best defensive teams in the NHL this year and they are allowing just 2.50 goals against per game, which is not a good sign for an Ottawa team that is struggling to score. Take the Stars here.
