Dallas at Carolina

Dallas is on a 6-3 run and rested. Dallas is second in the NHL defensively in goals allowed, top 5 in penalty killing. Carolina just came back from a five-game road trip and had to play last night. They topped Edmonton despite getting outshot 29-14 after two periods and 41-27 for the game. The Hurricanes have a weak offense, #18 in goals scored, #23 on the power play, and mediocre (#15) penalty killing. The Stars are 6-1 in the last seven meetings, along with a 5-2 run in this building, so back the rested underdog. Play Dallas.
