Staff Prediction

Dallas possesses one of the best offenses in the NHL, and currently hold the 2nd spot in the central division. However, the Senators have been hot as of late, winning 4 of their last 5 games. The Senators have also only allowed 2 goals in each of their last 3 games. I think the Senators are starting to find their grove and will take down the favored stars on Thursday.
