Dallas Stars vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction

You can make a case for either side and the Stars with plus money is arguably the play because they’ve been the more consistent team this season. However, you don’t get the Oilers at home with prices this cheap often. The Oilers are also coming off a nice overtime win over the Habs which could be the bounce-back win they’ve needed to right the ship. While both teams are legit contenders, I’d need more bang for my buck to pull the trigger with the Stars. I’ll lean toward home ice in this one and side with the Oilers.
