Stars vs. Penguins: Odds and Prediction

Dallas is a -162 favorite, while Pittsburgh is a +136 underdog on the road.

The Stars are one of the top teams in the NHL because of Oettinger, who is one of the best goalies in the league. Pittsburgh will struggle to score here again, while Dallas' offense should also be able to have success against Blomqvist here.

The Stars should get out to an early lead as Oettinger will shut the door for the win. Dallas will likely add an empty netter to secure the win.

Prediction: Stars 4, Penguins 2.
