Stars vs. Kraken Predictions: Monday, March 31st

The Stars are putting their finishing touches on what has been a fantastic 2024-2025 regular season as they look to play game number 74 on the season with just 8 more to go until the playoffs begin. Their 100 points heading into tonight against the Kraken is the 3rd highest total in the NHL and they’re still within striking distance to win the Central Division so don’t expect them to slow down. 

The Stars have won 5 straight games, and they’ll likely make it 6 on the road against the Kraken tonight, a team that just was eliminated from the playoffs and may be taking a knee down the stretch into April. They’ve struggled to score goals most of the season and it's going to be an uphill battle today with Jake Oettinger in net who is 5th in goals saved above expected in the last 10 games in the NHL and has a .914 SV% as well during that time! 

The team in front of the goalie is also great on the road with a record of 21-14-2 on the season and are scoring 3.38 goals per game the 3rd most of any NHL team away from home this year. I’m not saying it will be a blowout of epic proportions, but the Stars should win comfortably enough to take the game in regulation so give me the Stars in regulation to grab the W!
