Dallas Stars vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction

I’m standing here on the stars. I wanted to find a way to get some value with the Ducks, but the Ducks are simply far less effective on the road compared to their numbers at home. The Ducks are scoring well under two goals per game away from home, and I just don’t see any value in it when the Stars have been this solid defensively thus far. I think Dallas will find a way to win this one by a margin, so give me Dallas -1.5.
