The Dallas Stars and Seattle Kraken tangle in Game 6 of their Western Conference semifinals playoff series Saturday. Puck drop at Climate Pledge Arena is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stars vs. Kraken odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Dallas leads the series 3-2.

The Stars travel to hostile ground trying to eliminate the Kraken in Game 6. Dallas took Game 5 by a 5-2 score behind 2 goals from C Roope Hintz and another from C Joe Pavelski. The Stars scored 5 times on just 21 shots and have the 2nd-year Kraken on the ropes.

LW Jared McCann scored his 1st goal of the playoffs and became the 18th Kraken player to tickle the twine this postseason. Seattle got down 3-0 and scored 2 goals in the 2nd period to get within striking distance, but Dallas shut the door.

Stars at Kraken picks and predictions

Prediction

Stars 4, Kraken 2

Moneyline

Dallas (-165) is hoping to repeat what they did against Minnesota in going down 2-1 in the series and not losing another game — and I think they accomplish that. Grubauer was the star of the Avalanche series and kept the Kraken in it, but he has begun to cave in as Dallas dominates the pace.

PASS on moneyline pricetag though, and look to the spread.

Puck line/Against the spread

The last 4 games in the series have been decided by 2 goals or more, and every Dallas win has been as such. Dallas has scored 4 goals or more in 6 of 7 games, and that’s what it’s going to take to cash a puck line in Game 6.

Take the STARS -1.5 (+150).

Over/Under

The Over is 5-0-1 in the last 6 for Dallas and 5-0 in the last 5 for Seattle. The Over is 8-0 in the last 8 between the teams and 4-0 in the last 4 in Seattle. I just don’t see 7 goals with a Dallas victory.

Head to the Win/Total section, and take STARS AND OVER 4.5 GOALS (+100).

The Dallas Stars and Seattle Kraken tangle in Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinals playoff series Tuesday. Seattle leads the series 2-1. Puck drop at Climate Pledge Arena is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stars vs. Kraken odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

All was quiet in Game 3 until the 2nd period when Seattle erupted for 5 goals on the way to a 7-2 victory. The Kraken scored on their first 4 shots of the 2nd period and had 7 different players score in what has been a theme for them this postseason. The Kraken have had 16 different players score goals in these playoffs.

The Stars were battered and bloodied, literally, as D Miro Heiskanen left after a puck hit him in the face and didn’t return. However, this was the same position they were in against the Minnesota Wild in the opening round, and they didn’t lose another game in the series.

Stars at Kraken projected goalies

Jake Oettinger (37-11-11, 2.37 GAA, .919 SV%, 5 SO – regular season) vs. Philipp Grubauer (17-14-4, 2.85 GAA, .895 SV%, 0 SO – regular season)

Oettinger was chased from the game after 2 periods and stopped just 12 of 17 shots in game 3. Scott Wedgewood was greeted with a short-handed breakaway and ultimately allowed 2 goals on 8 shots. Oettinger allowed 13 goals in the 6-game series with Minnesota and has allowed 12 thus far across 3 games to Seattle. He has a 2.68 GAA and .908 SV% for the playoffs.

Grubauer stopped 24 of 26 shots in Game 3 after allowing 4 in each of the first 2 games. He didn’t really face a lot of danger. Dallas is 1-for-8 (13%) on the power play, and his offense is firing on all cylinders. He has a 2.67 GAA and .918 SV% in the playoffs.

Stars at Kraken picks and predictions

Prediction

Stars 4, Kraken 3

Moneyline

Dallas is resilient. They dropped Game 3 to Minnesota 5-1 and responded in Game 4 with a 3-2 victory at their house. They’ll do it again in Seattle as this one is earmarked for 7 games. The Stars are 4-0 in their last 4 games after allowing 5 or more goals.

Take the STARS (-135).

Puck line/Against the spread

This series is too close to take Dallas by 2 or more goals, and Seattle staying within 1 is too expensive. Stars LW Jason Robertson has not scored in the series and has just 2 goals in the postseason after 46 in the regular season. I’ll take a chance on JASON ROBERTSON ANYTIME GOAL (+125).

Over/Under

Every game has gone Over this series, and the books are finally starting to take notice. The Over is 6-0 in the last 6 games between the teams and is 3-0-1 in the last 4 for Dallas.

Take the OVER 5.5 (-115).

The Dallas Stars meet the Seattle Kraken in Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinals playoff series Sunday. Puck drop at Climate Pledge Arena is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (TBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Kraken vs. Stars odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The series is tied 1-1

The Stars rebounded in Game 2 with a 4-2 victory Thursday. C Joe Pavelski scored on the power play for his 5th goal of the series, and G Jake Oettinger stopped 25 of 27 shots. Dallas put the pedal to the medal from puck drop with 30 of its 37 shots on goal in the 1st 2 periods.

Seattle couldn’t keep up, falling down 4-1 before a late tally with under 4 minutes to go. They were outshot 30-14 in the 1st 2 periods. One thing they need to improve on is they are 0-for-4 on the power play in the 2 games.

Stars at Kraken projected goalies

Jake Oettinger (37-11-11, 2.37 GAA, .919 SV%, 5 SO – regular season) vs. Philipp Grubauer (17-14-4, 2.85 GAA, .895 SV%, 0 SO – regular season)

Oettinger has been good since allowing 4 goals in the 1st period of Game 1, stopping 56 of 59 shots fired his way. He has allowed 2 goals or fewer in 4 of the last 5 games with a 2.31 GAA and .921 SV% in these playoffs.

Grubauer made 33 saves on 37 shots in Game 2. He started off well, stopping 11 shots in the 1st-period, but Dallas brought the heat with 3 goals on 19 shots in the 2nd. Grubauer has allowed 4 goals in each game this series and has a 2.74 GAA and .917 SV% in the playoffs.

Stars at Kraken picks and predictions

Prediction

Stars 4, Kraken 3

Moneyline

Kraken LW Jared McCann skated with the team over the weekend, but he’s likely to remain out for this game. The Kraken have to do a better job with Dallas’ net-front presence. If they can score early and make Dallas chase them, they have a shot. I’m siding with Dallas in this game, and I’ll sweeten the deal.

Take STARS ML + OVER 4.5 GOALS +125.

Puck line/Against the spread

In 4 of Dallas’ 5 wins this postseason, they have won by multiple goals. However 4 of the last 6 games between the teams has ended within a goal. The price is too high at -225 for Seattle to keep it there.

PASS and look to the total.

Over/Under

All 5 games between the teams had at least 6 goals scored this season. Seattle has cashed the Over in 3 of the last 4 games, and Dallas has cashed the Over in 4 of its last 5. The books still haven’t bought in to those trends.

Take the OVER 5.5 (+100).
