Stars vs Kraken Prediction
The Kraken entered the break on a bit of a heater, and it will be interesting to see if they can pick up where they left off. We know what to expect from the Stars, a team that’s usually consistent. The Stars have also won 9 straight games against the Kraken. The Kraken hasn’t beaten the Stars since May 2023. Fast X was in theaters back then. I’m not stepping in front of the stars here. Give me the home team and a somewhat reasonable price.
