Stars Kraken Tips and Predictions

forecast

Stars 3, Kraken 2

Money line

Both teams play back-to-back and Seattle has the edge between the goals. I still give Dallas a slight edge, but I wouldn’t bet anywhere near -200 when their backup is in net for the first time.

Instead I take JASON ROBERTSON OVER 2.5 SHOTS ON GOAL (-110). He had 5 SOG on Saturday and 3+ SOG in 2 of 3 games against Seattle last season.

Puck Line/Against the Spread

I don’t have enough confidence to take the Kraken straight up, but KRAKEN +1.5 (-160) is within the framework for me. The goaltending advantage that Seattle has is pretty clear, but the home-field advantage puts Dallas over the top for me.

Over/Under

So far, every team has a 1-1 O/U. The over has only cashed once in the last 4 meetings between the clubs. Neither team is really clicking offensively yet. Take this UNDER 6 (-120).
