Oilers vs Stars

Jason Robertson has been tearing through the league lately, giving Dallas a four-game winning streak to protect on home ice, while Edmonton arrives on a two-game skid. Despite the Oilers boasting Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl at full strength, they could still suffer from lingering injury concerns around Evander Kane, who’s currently listed as day-to-day. Historically, Dallas has excelled in conference matchups like this, consistently seizing opportunities against high-scoring opponents and outlasting rivals in tight third periods. Backing the Stars at -155 offers a decent payoff, and we grade this pick an A- due to the combination of home dominance, recent form, and relative roster health.

Connor McDavid and the Oilers look to bounce back from a recent slump against Dallas, who is riding a small winning streak of their own. Both rosters appear mostly healthy, aside from questions about whether any lingering injuries might limit Edmonton’s depth, and each side has shown in previous Western Conference battles that they can light up the scoreboard when top lines catch fire. With the Stars holding strong momentum and the Oilers forever dangerous on offense, the smart money leans toward plenty of goals, giving this Over wager an excellent chance of paying out.

Dallas heads to Rogers Place riding a four-game tear, while the Oilers stumble in on a two-game skid that raises questions about their consistency. With Tyler Seguin confirmed active and in solid form despite minor soreness, the Stars appear nearly at full strength. Edmonton, on the other hand, faces concerns over a banged-up blue line, impacting defensive depth. Historically, Dallas has thrived in Western Conference showdowns, especially against high-octane offenses, using disciplined play and timely scoring to gain the edge. Banking on the Stars to cover the puckline offers a strong payout with a high likelihood of success.
