Kraken vs Stars Prediction
It’s not easy to beat the same team twice in a short span, but the Stars are as hot as any team in the league right now and just smoked the Kraken a couple of days ago, 5-1. The Stars have won five straight games, and the offense is rolling. The Kraken are having issues keeping the puck out of the net, and they’ve lost eight of the last nine games against the Stars. The Kraken have scored one or fewer goals in five of their last six games against the Stars. It’s hard to do anything in this spot but side with the hot hand in the Stars. Of course, I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
