This will be a good matchup between Dallas and Calgary, as both teams have been on a fine run of form. The glaring stat we mentioned is Calgary’s inability to win against good opponents at home. We have been burned by them before and we have another instance where this scenario is in play. We will take more of a system play on the Dallas Stars to win this one by a score of 3-1.
