This week in the NHL has 6 games on tap. Somewhat strangely, there are 3 games tonight that are part of back to backs for these opponents. Several of these teams are well acquainted which makes for some good hockey. With each game that goes by, the runway obviously gets shorter for teams to make a move in the standings. We will largely see the efforts get better and better as the season progresses for teams to either move up in the standings or keep pace. This is a great time of year in the NHL and Monday only adds to the excitement.

Dallas Stars win (-110)
The Stars and Lightning just met on Saturday in a game which saw Dallas run up the score with an 8-1 win. Is a 7-goal win an outlier? Yes. But all in all, the Stars are plain the better team both overall and recently. With that win, the Stars are have 13 wins in their last 20 games and are T-4th in the Western Conference.
The Lightning, meanwhile, have dropped 4 out of their last 5 games and are at .500 on the season. They also enter tonight's game having dropped 5 ouf of their last 7 at home. The Stars are the more reliable team all around and can take advantage yet again of a spiraling Lightning team.
