MatchPlug Prediction
Seattle is off a dominating performance but Dallas wants to bounce back and commandeer this game. The Stars who scored 10 goals in the series, should have no problems piling on the goals with Pavelski, Benn and the other forward unit members taking the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with effective puck movement.
Dallas intends to curb the Kraken’s offense with Hakanpaa and Suter stepping up at the blue line and cutting off angles to the net on the rush while obstructing shooting lanes, allowing Oettinger to make many big saves. They should win deliver a powerful performance to win Game Four and even up the series.
