St Louis’ defense let them down this season, allowing 3.65 goals per game including 3.75 goals per game since March.

MatchPlug Prediction The Blues want to end a bad season on a positive note, but the Stars will intend to control this match on their home ice.  Dallas should have no problems finding the back of the net against St. Louis, who allow 3.65 goals per game, Jason Robertson, Joe Pavelski, and the rest of the forward unit will establish a powerful defensive zone presence and create open shots with great puck movement. The Stars who allow just 2.66 goals per game, should limit the Blues’ offense with Heiskanen, Lindell, and the other defensive unit members creating turnovers at the blue line and limiting St. Louis from taking the puck into the offensive zone.  Dallas’ goaltender Jake Oettinger will step up and make many big saves. They should win the match and cover the spread in a win on their home ice. Final Prediction: Dallas Stars Spread.

Klim Kostin the Center led Edmonton as he concluded with a goal and an assist during the game. The Oilers scored 3 goals on 33 shots and failed to score on just their power play throughout the whole game. Goalie Jack Campbell was in the net and he stopped 27 of 28 shots against him from opponents. The Oilers have been scoring the puck at an impressive rate, leading the league with 312 total goals scored. Center Connor McDavid is leading the NHL with 148 points (62 goals, 86 assists) and scored 8 points in his last 5 games. On the defensive side, Edmonton is really allowing opponents to score 256 total goals which rank 19th in the league up to this point. MatchPlug Prediction Leveraging power play is a significant factor for success and there is a huge difference between the Sharks who are 25th in the league with a power play percentage of 18.5 so far. And the Oilers have a 32.6 power play percentage.  The defenses have a wide gap too recently with Edmonton allowing 0.5 goals in the last four games and San Jose giving up four goals in their last three games. The Oilers won all the last 6 games against the Sharks, so experts suggest backing Edmonton to cover the puck line on the road. Final Prediction: Edmonton Oilers Spread.
