Dallas Stars vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction
The Stars have been a great team all year, and you can make a case for them in the big underdog role. The problem is the Oilers have been on a heater all playoffs, and that includes wins in 10 of their last 12 games. The last two games between the Oilers and Stars were ridiculously one-sided. The Oilers have played their best hockey at home, where they’re 30-14-3 on the season. It feels like the Oilers are on a mission to get back to the finals, and they’re not a team I’m eager to step in front of. There’s also a chance the Stars could be without Hintz, who has five goals, six assists and 36 shots in these playoffs. I’m going to lay the price with the Oilers.
