The set-up: Florida comes to Dallas off a 3-2 road loss to the Ducks, while the Stars lost 3-2 in a shootout to Vancouver at home on Sunday. This is the second time these teams have played and Dallas won the first matchup 3-0 on the road back on February 12th. I believe we'll see a similar final outcome here as well. Florida looks poised for a letdown after its four game win streak was snapped last time out. The Stars won't be taking anything for granted after two straight losses though (after winning six of their previous seven. Florida averages 3.21 GPG and it allows 3.28, while Dallas averages 2.51 goals and it allows 2.46.

The pick: Take it for what you will though, but Florida is just 2-7 in its last nine in the third game of a "3-in-4" situation, while Dallas is 5-1 in its last six after scoring two goals or less in its previous outing. I think home ice plays a big part here as well. Lay the price.
