The current betting odds have the Panthers listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Panthers have looked great in their games this season with their 44-17-4 record overall which has them leading their division in the East with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have also been a great road team this year with their 23-8-2 road record. Meanwhile, the Stars have also looked really good in their games this season with their 40-17-9 record overall which has them leading their division in the West with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have also looked great on home ice with their 19-8-4 home record this year. The Stars have a ton of momentum right now with their 5 wins in a row, but they are only 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. The Panthers don't have as much momentum behind them right now as they are coming off a win in their last one but they have been the hotter team lately with their 8-2-0 record in their last 10 games. The Panthers also have one of the best defenses in the NHL this season with the number of goals they have been giving up and that is a big edge on the Stars who have been giving up a ton of goals over the last 2 weeks. The Panthers also have the pressure on them from the Bruins being 1 point behind in the standings so they are going to be motivated to bring their best effort here and get back on a big winning streak. The best way to place a bet here is on the Panthers to win this game.

“Going in, we knew it wouldn’t be easy for us. It didn’t look like we had a lot in the tank and they played hard. I think we kind of matched that. It was even, and we would like to be better than even at home, and then they got the break at the end that we hadn’t earlier, so we can get some rest and come back for the next one.” - Paul Maurice after his team’s loss against the Flyers in their game on Thursday.
