MatchPlug Prediction
Seattle proved to be a worthy adversary for Dallas and will want to pull off an upset in Game 7. But, they will step up on the home ice and control this match from the first period.
Dallas on the other hand has scored 24 goals in the series and should bring on the goals with Joe Pavelski, Max Domi, and the other members of the forward unit controlling the puck to create open shots with quick passes.
The Stars will obstruct the Kraken’s offense with Hieskanen, Suter and the other defensive unit members creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shooting lanes. This should give Oettinger space to save plenty of goals to end the game.
