Panthers vs. Stars: Odds & Prediction

Florida and Dallas are -110 apiece in a pick'em game, while the over/under is set at 6 goals.

The international games are always tough, as some players' bodies may not have adjusted to the time zone or after the long flight like others. But this is a good spot for Dallas to get a big win.

Oettinger has been playing great hockey in the net, and he should be able to limit the Panthers' offense. This will be a low-scoring game as both teams play great defense, but the Stars' goaltending will be the difference in this game.

Prediction: Stars 3, Panthers 1.
