The Dallas Stars can’t win every game in an 82 game season, but some are more make-or-break than others. After a three-game losing streak in the late season, the Stars had found their do-or-die. Thankfully it came against a struggling expansion team.
The Seattle Kraken are having a typical first season for most expansion teams that aren’t the Vegas Golden Knights. They’re 8th in the Pacific and 15th in the West, scraping the bottom of the league in the company of Arizona and Montreal.
Still, this is the third meeting between the teams, and the Stars lost the last one 4-1.
