Dallas at Carolina

This is a difficult situational spot for Dallas after getting blasted by Carolina, 4-1, yesterday in its first road game. The Stars were outshot 26-11 in their first loss of the NHL season. Dallas is 22-49 when playing their third game in four days. Carolina is home again, riding a three-game winning streak, allowing three total goals. They've allowed just three goals in their four victories this season. Carolina is 21-10 in the second of a back-to-back spot, and the favorite is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings, so back home ice in this one. Play Carolina.
