Hurricanes vs. Stars Preview, Prediction
By Dana Forden
Dallas Stars center Wyatt Johnston basically matched this line last season, getting Over 2.5 shots in 36 out of 82 games (44.4%), but the 22-year-old has upgraded this year.
He went from playing 18:56 a game to 21:08, and his shots per game and attempted shots per game have gone way up.
Johnston went from averaging 2.46 shots a game to 3.00 a game this season.
Carolina is normally a bad matchup, but Dallas is at home, and a ton of the Hurricanes' best defensive players are hurt and out for this game.
Best Bet: Wyatt Johnston Over 2.5 Shots On Goal (+125, bet365)
