Dallas Stars (50-21-9) vs Seattle Kraken (33-32-13)
Saturday, April 13, 2024 at 3:00 pm
My selection is on Dallas -1.5 goals over Seattle at 3:05 pm et on Saturday.
The Stars current homestand hasn't gone as they hoped as they eked out a 3-2 win over Buffalo before a blowout loss at the hands of the Jets. I look for them to bounce back on Saturday as they host the Kraken who are simply playing out the string at the end of the disappointing season that won't result in a second straight playoff appearance. Dallas is in a fine spot here as it has gone a long-term 127-59 (+71.6 net games) when coming off a loss by two goals or more against a division opponent, as is the case here, including an 11-2 (+8.7 net games) mark in that situation over the last three seasons and a 3-0 (+3 net games) record this season. Meanwhile, the Kraken, fresh off an ugly home loss against the Sharks, are just 16-26 (-11.3 net games) following a loss this season. The Stars have owned this series for the most part and I expect them to post a lopsided victory on Saturday. Take Dallas -1.5 goals (8*).
Sean’s Pick Dallas Stars: -1.5 +110
