Dallas Stars vs Seattle Kraken Predictions 5/13/2023

In spite of the Kraken’s impressive offensive output of 19 goals in the series, they find themselves in a do-or-die situation with their backs against the wall.

The top two lines of Jordan Eberle, Yanni Gourde, and Jaden Schwartz have been leading the charge with eight goals and five assists, while the rest of the team has been chipping in as well.

Matthew Beniers, Tye Kartye, and Alexander Wennberg have combined for three goals and six assists, and Vince Dunn and Justin Schultz have contributed two goals and seven assists from the point.

However, the Kraken’s defensive struggles have been the main reason for their predicament, allowing 21 goals in the series.

While Adam Larsson, Vince Dunn, and Jamie Oleksiak have performed admirably on the top two pairings, the rest of the defense has faltered, giving up too many open shots for the Stars to capitalize on.

Moreover, goaltender Philipp Grubauer has not been up to his usual standards, allowing 19 goals on 140 shots.

The total went OVER in 5 of the Kraken’s last 5 games.
The total hung OVER in 8 of Seattle’s last 8 meetings with the Dallas Stars.
The Seattle Kraken is 2-4 SU in their last 6 games at home.
