Blues vs Stars prediction

The Blues have been competitive over the last couple of weeks, and they’ve won the last 2 games against the Stars, so there’s value in looking at the plus money. However, the Blues have nothing to play for at this stage and the Stars are great at home, where they’re 25-11-4 this season. The Stars can no longer win the President’s Trophy, and they already won the Central, so it’s fair to question their motivation as well. Still, it’s Stars or pass for me. Of course, I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
