Line and Odds Movement
Early pricing tilted to Dallas on home ice after the Stars’ third-period surge in Nashville. Expect adjustment at goalie confirmation and any Matt Duchene update. Compare openers and current numbers on NHL scores and odds, and cross-check writeups in the NHL expert betting guide.
Matchup Breakdown
Seattle’s rally at St. Louis showed needed five-on-five resilience. The Kraken created inside looks off low cycles and got lift from Eeli Tolvanen and Ryker Evans, while Philipp Grubauer gave serviceable minutes with Joey Daccord sidelined. Seattle’s route here is puck protection through the neutral zone and layered entries that force Dallas’ second pair to defend below the dots.
Dallas’ engine remains rush-to-possession conversion and a top-unit power play that flips game state fast. With Wyatt Johnston driving touch-time and Miro Heiskanen transporting, the Stars punish failed clears. If Jake Oettinger starts, Dallas can sit in structure and counter off controlled exits. Division context and futures angles are covered in the NHL Central Division odds preview.

Best Bets and Prediction
Dallas moneyline is the lean on goaltending stability at home and special-teams edge. If regulation pricing shortens post-goalie news, Dallas in 60 offers better hold than laying a puckline. Total leans under 6.5 if Oettinger vs. Grubauer confirms and Matt Duchene sits; any Daccord return or Benn upgrade nudges toward a flat 6 look. Always verify the final number on NHL scores and odds.
Projected score: Stars 4, Kraken 2.
