How to Watch:

Our final and featured game of NHL predictions has the Florida Panthers looking to get the second win of the season over the Dallas Stars. Sergei Bobrovsky is the probable starter for Florida, which is 4-5-1 in the last 10 games. However, the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions had won three straight against losing to the Colorado Avalanche. Brad Marchand is first in goals (16), points (15), and assists (31) for the Cats.

Jake Oettinger is the expected starter for the Stars, who are 8-1-1 in the previous 10 games. The Stars had taken their last four games before losing to the Minnesota Wild in their last outing. Dallas is top 10 in goals scored, goals against, power play, penalty kill, and faceoff winning percentage. Mikko Rantanen is first in assists (29) and points (42) so far with the Stars.

Florida got the win in the first meeting, but Dallas should get this one.

Prediction: Stars win 4-3.
