MyBookie presents the latest odds for this matchup, which indicates that this is a coin flip. Bettors could find value in taking the Stars, especially since they blew out the Lightning just a few days ago.

The Lightning might be back at home, but their struggles are not going to be corrected overnight. This is especially true against a team that just defeated them quite badly. Look for the Stars to succeed.
