The Stars are in deep trouble right now in this series. This is a huge game for them as they cannot afford to go down in this series 3-1 heading back home. Dallas needs to shake off game 3 and focus on this game of they want to tie up the series 2-2 heading back home. Fortunately, the Stars have had a ton of success on the road all season with a 25-11-5 record as the away team. Look to see if they can bounce back and get back to playing good hockey on the road like they did all season.

Seattle Kraken
The Kraken have got to be happy with position that they are in right now. They have a little bit of a chokehold on the Stars in this series. They can squeeze tighter on that chokehold with a win at home in this game to go up 3-1 in the series. The Kraken have been shaky at home this season with a 20-17-4 record.

Prop Prediction
I like the Kraken to win this game at home. If they want to win this game though they will need their star players to show out. Dallas has their backs up against the wall and they know that. They will come out strong in this one. In order for the Kraken to have a chance in this one they will need Matty Beniers to step up just like he did in game 3. I think he will find another goal in this game for the Kraken. Beniers has struggled all postseason, but I think game 3 was his breakout game, where he finally felt comfortable. I think he gets hot and finds a goal in this game.
Dallas Stars vs. Seattle Kraken Prop Pick: Matty Beniers to score a goal (+280).
