There was a lot to like about Wednesday nights 5-2 home victory over the Seattle Kraken. The RoboHintsky line pulled off another first minute goal, and even though the Kraken put up a noble effort, Dallas seemed in control the entire game, in spite of some extended turtling during the third period.
Seattle’s defensive scheme seemed to be based on giving up space and distance in the crease, and Joe Pavelski and Jason Robertson were perfectly happy accepting the dunks from close range. On the other end of the ice, the Stars defense kept the Kraken on the outside, at least until the third period.
