Stars vs Oilers Prediction
The Oilers won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including four of the last five. They met on two occasions this season, and the series is tied at 1-1. The Stars won 4-1 in Dallas, while the Oilers were better 5-4 in Edmonton. The Stars are struggling on the road recently, losing four of the last five games and conceding 4+ goals in each of those four defeats. The Oilers, on the other hand, scored 5+ goals in three of their previous four home games, but it’s going to be a problem for them in front of the net on Wednesday. Both McDavid and Draisaitl are out, and the Oilers will be very limited offensively. No doubt, if they were healthy and playing, I’d back Over, but in this situation, I expect a low-scoring affair. Go with Under.
