The Penguins look to stay undefeated on Thursday night as they host the Dallas Stars in Pittsburgh. So far the Penguins have out shot it’s first two opponents 80-54. The trio of Sidney Crosby. Chris Kunitz, and Patric Hornqvist gives the Penguins a solid first line. After two games the Penguins are the highest scoring team in the league at 5.5 goals per game. That stat alone I believe is what has caused the Penguins to be such a favorite in this spot.
Meanwhile, Dallas Stars comes into this game 0-5 SU in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Pittsburgh. The Stars were a preseason dark horse to do some damage in the Western Conference this season after they acquired Jason SPezza and Ales Hemsky from the Ottawa Senators and despite sitting at 1-1-1 on the year those expectations are still sky high. The Stars can score with anyone in the league and they will have to do so in order to beat the Sidney Crosby lead Penguins. The Stars have one goal on eight power-play opportunities but could break out against a Penguins squad that has surrendered five goals on 11 power-play chances. I believe in this spot the Stars are way undervalued opening at Dallas Stars 2.50. Here are the current odds at a few sites. 5dimes 2.54/Pinnacle 2.49/SportsInteractions 2.55
