Expert Betting Tips

It's hard to pick a favourite here, even though the Stars have been doing well recently. Everything was decided by shootouts, so it could be a random win. Montreal is in great form and they're not planning on slowing down. So, we suggest betting on goals, or rather, on their absence. The Canadiens have been working on their defense, and they've only conceded 11 goals in five games. The Stars have a solid defense, too – they've conceded 10 goals over the same distance. We think it's going to be a close match.
