Free NHL Hockey Pick Today: Dallas Stars -122
When I was a kid, Dallas didn't have a team and Minnesota's team was called the North Stars. Eventually, the North Stars moved to Dallas, dropping the "North" and becoming the Stars. Minnesota went a period without having a team. Their fans didn't forget. When the Wild entered the league, Minnesota players and fans always had some extra energy and motivation when Dallas would come to town. Having not had their team taken, Dallas fans generally didn't feel the same way.
Whether or not it has anything to do with the historic connection, the home team has always tended to do well in this series. That's continued to be the case, as the home team has won five straight meetings, including all three this season. Including their win here in October, the Stars are 34-8-1-6 all-time agains the Wild, at the American Airlines Center. They've been dominant at home again this season; I like their chances of continuing their success here and levelling the season series. *good up to -135
