Betting On Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers are surging, winning three straight games and five of their last six overall. Their offense is firing at nearly 4 goals per game in the playoffs, with McDavid (24 pts) and Draisaitl (23 pts) leading the charge. Their power play remains deadly at 23%, and defensively they’ve allowed just six goals across their last three road outings. If Skinner stays steady in net, the Oilers can close this series out.
Betting On Dallas Stars
Dallas is in a must-win situation but has lost four of six and struggled to generate offense—just two goals in their last three games. Goalie Jake Oettinger has been decent, but the team’s defensive form has dropped, conceding 16 goals in four games. Their special teams have been okay (22% PP), but it hasn’t been enough to slow Edmonton’s top line.
MatchPlug Prediction For Oilers vs Stars
The Oilers have the edge in momentum, firepower, and form. Dallas has failed to solve Edmonton’s special teams and can’t keep up offensively. Look for the Oilers to wrap this series up.
