NHL LIVE Seattle Kraken vs Dallas Stars 30th March 2024 Full Game Reaction
The Kraken (30-29-13, 73 points) have won two in a row, beating the visiting Anaheim Ducks twice this week, 4-0 and 4-2, following an eight-game skid (0-6-2) that knocked them out of the West's wild-card race.
Goaltender Joey Daccord was forced to make just 12 saves while shutting out the Ducks on Tuesday.
On Thursday, Seattle fell behind Anaheim 2-1 after allowing two short-handed goals on the same power play early in the third period, only to score three times in a 9:10 span to win it. Andre Burakovsky and Matty Beniers scored with the man advantage and Tye Kartye netted the go-ahead goal.
Kartye's goal was his first in 26 games since mid-January.
The Dallas Stars became the first Western Conference team to clinch a Stanley Cup playoff berth when they beat the host Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Thursday.
Yet the Stars (46-19-9, 101 points), who visit the Seattle Kraken on Saturday, aren't ready to rest quite yet.
The Stars are just one point behind the New York Rangers in the race for the Presidents' Trophy, which goes to the NHL team with the best regular-season record. That distinction comes with home-ice advantage throughout the playoffs.
The Stars last won the Presidents' Trophy 25 years ago, and they went on to claim their only Stanley Cup in that 1998-99 season.
On Thursday, Roope Hintz had a goal and two assists while Jason Robertson and Jamie Benn each had one goal and one assist as Dallas won its season-high sixth game in a row.
