T.M. Selection: Dallas Stars.

I like the Dallas Stars to win this game against the LA Kings on Wednesday. The Stars were just in a bit of a rough patch lately but I think they have broken out of it with 2/3 wins in their previous 3 games. They have won 2 games in a row on home ice now and I think they are going to carry over that momentum into this game. The Stars are trying to work their way into a playoff spot since they are in a very competitive division but I think they can start stringing some wins together here and put together a bit of a run themselves. The Kings have been having a great year since they are in 2nd place of their division but they haven't looked good lately and I think the Stars can take advantage of them in their current slump. The Kings won 5 games in a row but their schedule was on the weaker side during that time and it really showed in their most recent game when they were destroyed by the Bruins on their own home ice 7-0. I think they are running into a wall in this game with the Stars who have been really good on home ice and they can score a ton of goals in their games when needed. They just scored 4 goals in their most recent game and I think the Kings are going to be in trouble after that terrible performance by their goalie. That can't even be fully pinned on him though since their defense was also terrible and I think the Stars are going to find the back of the net quite easily here. I like the Stars to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Stars.
