Carolina Panthers Host Dallas Stars in Home Game with Winning Streak on the Line
A Matchup of Division Leaders
The Carolina Panthers, winners of three straight and leading the NFC South, will host the Dallas Stars, the top team in the Central Division, in a pivotal home game on Tuesday night. The Panthers have been playing inspired football of late, with quarterback Sam Darnold leading the way. Darnold has thrown for over 300 yards in each of his last three games and has 10 touchdown passes to just one interception during that span.
The Stars, meanwhile, have been equally impressive, winning five of their last six games. They are led by star center Tyler Seguin, who has 21 points in his last 10 games. The Stars also boast a strong defense, led by goalie Jake Oettinger, who has a 2.00 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage this season.

Prediction
This is a tough matchup to call, as both teams are playing well. However, the Panthers have the home-ice advantage and have been playing with a lot of confidence lately. I think the Panthers will win a close game, 3-2.
