Kraken vs Stars Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline bet in this one, we have the Stars coming out on top. However, with the lines sitting at -243, I’d recommend looking to the puck line as our projections have the Stars winning by more than one goal.

For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Stars to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Stars to win this one by multiple goals over the Kraken.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 5.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
