Kraken vs Stars Prediction
I’m on the Stars here. I know it’s a back-to-back for Dallas, but the Stars have been rolling and have a lot of confidence after beating up on Edmonton on Tuesday. They still have a solid backup in Casey DeSmith, who can hold things down for Dallas in the crease. Seattle’s had some run of form lately too, but Dallas has owned the head-to-head between these two teams, winning 9 of the last 10 meetings, and I think Dallas gets another W here. Give me the Stars.
