Stars vs Kraken prediction
The Kraken are coming off confidence boosting wins over the Ducks, and they’ve had some success against the Stars over the years. However, the Kraken have nothing to play for at this stage, and beating up on the Ducks doesn’t move the needle much. Also, the Stars are fighting for the Presidents’ Trophy and have done well in games they should win. The Stars are 24-9-5 on the road this season. I like the Stars to win their seventh straight game and make a case for the best team in the NHL.
