Dallas at Detroit

Detroit has been a struggling franchise after being a playoff team for a couple of decades. They have finally pushed the win total past the loss column with two straight wins. The issue here was back-to-back games vs. the lowly Buffalo Sabres that got them there. Their only other win going back to last calendar year was vs. San Jose. Dallas has some nice wins vs. Florida and Pittsburgh. and overall it is simply a much better team. They have proven it on the ice as the Stars have taken eight of the last 11 in this series, including a 5-2 Dallas win earlier this season. Make the play on Dallas.
