Sharks vs Stars Prediction.

I'm here on the stars. The Stars look like a team that could challenge for a place in the Finals right from the start as they are as complete as ever and Dallas itself has had one of the most underrated goaltending tandems in my opinion over the last two seasons and Oettinger and DeSmith live up to that billing this season. The Sharks were competitive early on, but being shut out by the Ducks doesn't inspire much confidence in me here. Give me the stars -1.5.
