Free Seattle Kraken vs. Dallas Stars NHL Prediction
In this tilt, we have two Western Conference foes headed in complete opposite directions. The Kraken cannot capture a win, and Dallas has only lost to St. Louis in a month and a half.
That being said, upsets happen constantly and very well could in this matchup. Seattle has a very stout shot defense, and if their goaltenders step it up, they have a chance.
These teams have yet to play, and what better way to start off their relationship with a bitter upset.
