Stars vs Kraken Betting Prediction

Seattle was able to snap their losing streak with two wins against a bad Anaheim team in their last two contests, but they will face a very strong Dallas team in this matchup. The Stars are 24-9-5 on the road this season and they have won six games in a row. Dallas has played very well in their defensive zone, allowing two goals or fewer in five of their last six games. Seattle is only 16-16-6 at home this season and they are only scoring 2.64 goals per game this year. The Kraken do play pretty solid defense, but their offense has let them down consistently. I think we are going to see a defensive battle in this matchup and I like the under here.
