Can Dallas Stars Harness Momentum Against Seattle Kraken?

As the Dallas Stars prepare to face off against the Seattle Kraken, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain the momentum from their recent victory. The Stars, coming off a commanding 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings, showcased a balanced attack and solid defense. They were particularly effective at even strength, netting three of their four goals in this situation and demonstrating a robust shooting percentage of 14 percent.

However, consistency has been challenging for the Stars. In their previous game against the New Jersey Devils, they suffered a heavy 6-2 defeat despite winning more faceoffs and having more shots on goal. This loss highlighted some defensive vulnerabilities as all six goals conceded were at even strength.


The matchup with Florida Panthers showed resilience as they managed to score three times on thirty shots but ultimately fell short in a tight contest that ended 4-3 in favor of the Panthers. The powerplay opportunities were plentiful for Dallas in this game; however, converting only one out of five indicates room for improvement.

Looking ahead to their encounter with Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena, it's crucial for Dallas to leverage both their offensive prowess and tighten up defensively if they wish to secure another win on enemy ice. Special teams could play a significant role once again; capitalizing on powerplay chances while remaining disciplined will be key factors.


The upcoming game is scheduled for March 30th at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ via internet streaming or tune into BSSW or ROOT Sports NW for television coverage starting at 7:00 PM PT.
