Bet Stars to Shine Bright vs Struggling Islanders
The Dallas Stars, who are +1100 in our odds to win the Stanley Cup, come home after a 1-2-1 road trip to host the struggling New York Islanders on Monday night.
The Stars salvaged their only victory on the trip Saturday with an impressive 2-1 triumph at Carolina. Dallas, which leads the Central Division by one point over Winnipeg, had lost four straight contests (0-2-2) before managing a win despite just 16 shots on net.
Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston scored for the Stars, who paid off bettors on the puck line. Dallas has not been a good hockey bet ATS, though, going just 22-37 on the season.
The Islanders started the Patrick Roy era with an overtime win over the Stars at home on Jan. 21, but have gone 3-5-3 since. New York has dropped five of six and sit eight points out of a playoff spot.
Roy’s team is now +3000 in the Las Vegas hockey odds to win the Eastern Conference.

Several key players are due to wake up offensively for the Stars, who will want to pay the Islanders back for last month’s loss.
