Dallas at Pittsburgh

Dallas looks to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Ottawa on Sunday when Anton Khudobin stopped 24 shots, and Michael Raffl and Joe Pavelski scored in a losing effort. The Stars have had trouble scoring lately and will depend on Khudobin to have a solid outing, and Pittsburgh still is suffering some key injuries, although they do come off a 5-2 victory over Chicago on Saturday. The Penguins are 3-8 dating to last season versus a team that scored two or fewer goals its previous game. The teams haven't met in nearly two years and Pittsburgh is not a big favorite as would be expected in the early going. Dallas has the talent, and its star players are due to break out after a slow start. Take the Stars.
