SITUATIONAL BLOWOUT - 17-5 (+$11.5K) L7 DAYS
(NHL) New Jersey vs. Dallas,
Money Line: -141.00 Dallas (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL BLOWOUT on the Stars.

I like the way this one sets up for the Stars. This is the final game for each team before the All Star break and I say it means a lot more to the Stars, who have lost back-to-back home games in OT. Dallas did beat New Jersey 4-1 back in December, but I say the "revenge" angle is negated here because of the overall situation.

New Jersey had its two-game win streak snapped in a 6-4 loss at Nashville just last night, and I believe it'll just "go through the motions" here and go into the break as fast as possible.

Look for the "hungrier" home side to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish here and lay the price with confidence.

The play is DALLAS.

Good luck, NP
