AAA's BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT (+$24,000 NHL RUN!)
(NHL) Calgary vs. Dallas,
Money Line: -196.00 Dallas (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Dallas Stars.

This is a massive mismatch, so much so that there's no question in our minds that we're still getting fantastic value on the home side. Calgary entered December tied for the fewest points in the league, but the team comes into this one as arguably the hottest in the NHL, including a victory over the league-best Dallas Stars. Most recently Calgary held on for a 2-1 OT win in Nashville on Tuesday. Note though that the Flames are 4-9-2 on the road compared to 10-5-0 at home. And now Calgary faces the revenge minded Stars, who are 12-3-0 at home, winning four straight after crushing Columbus 5-1 on Tuesday. Both teams have been getting pretty good goaltending of late, so we'll call that area a "wash," but there's no question in our minds that this finally sets up as a classic letdown spot for the visitors. Conversely, the Stars will be eager to exact revenge and also note that Dallas has in fact dominated in this spot all season, so far it's a fantastic 10-5 (+2.8 units) after scoring four goals or more in its previous game. And note that Calgary is just 9-11 (-1.3 units) in its last 20 following a three-game unbeaten streak. Lay the price with confidence on the STARS.
