The over has been profitable in previous Kraken vs. Stars matchups. That said, is the under the smarter play on Saturday when these two teams meet in Dallas at 3:00 p.m. ET?

Daccord stops 20 of 23 shots in loss to SJ
Joey Daccord stopped 20 of 23 shots in Thursday’s 3-1 loss to the Sharks. Although the Kraken tilted the ice toward the Sharks’ zone, Devin Cooley was sharp, stopping 49 of their 50 shots on goal. This was Daccord’s first start in April, but he has just two wins over nine outings since the beginning of March. He’s now at 18-17-11 with a 2.43 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 48 appearances this season. The Kraken have a back-to-back in Dallas on Saturday and in St. Louis on Sunday, so Philipp Grubauer and Daccord should split the next two games.
Oettinger’s streak snapped by Jets
Jake Oettinger allowed two goals on 23 shots in Thursday’s 3-0 loss to the Jets. The third goal was an empty-netter. Oettinger had won his previous eight outings, giving up just 13 goals in that span. He was solid again Thursday, but the Stars couldn’t solve Laurent Brossoit. The loss put Oettinger at 33-14-4 with a 2.80 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 52 contests this season. The Stars are still in the driver’s seat to clinch the top spot in the Central Division, and they’ll have a favorable home matchup versus the Kraken on Saturday as their next chance to do it.
