Kraken vs Stars Prediction & Pick
Seattle had lost three of its last four games before regaining momentum on Saturday night, which goes to show that Game 7 could go either way. Of course, the fact that Dallas is playing on its home ice is a big deal, though. The Stars have posted an impressive 30-10-13 record at home this season.
Jake Oettinger has been much better inside American Airlines Center in this series than he has been when playing on the road, too. The Dallas goaltender has posted a save percentage of at least .926 in two of the three home games and ha s allowed an average of 3.0 goals per game during that span.
On the other side, Grubauer has given up at least 4 goals in every away game in this series and was simply saved by a powerful Kraken offense in Game 1. His up-and-down tendencies are going to be a disadvantage against an offense featuring pros like Jason Robertson, Roope Hintz and Tyler Seguin.
Final Score Prediction:'Stars: 4 | Kraken: 3
