Dallas Strong Offense to Overpower Ottawa Battling Road Fatigue

Ottawa is coming off a back-to-back on the road, limiting their physical capabilities heading into this matchup against Dallas. The Stars, on the other hand, have not played since December 11, leaving them well rested. Additionally, Dallas has been strong offensively, ranking eighth in goals per game and averaging four or more goals in five of the last nine games. Meanwhile, Ottawa's defense and goaltending performances have been poor, ranking 17th in goals against per game and 16th in shots against per game. With these factors in consideration, it would not be a surprise for Dallas to win this game by two or more goals. Despite the handicap, bettors are advised to take the puck line (-1.5) and back the Stars.
