May 29, 2025 | 7:00 PM ET | American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX

The Dallas Stars enter Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals aiming to stay alive against the Edmonton Oilers. Despite trailing 3-1 in the series, the Stars maintain a strong home record of 28-10-3 this season. Their power play could exploit Edmonton's penalty kill, which has struggled with a season average of 78.2%. However, the Oilers have outscored Dallas 13-2 over the Oilers three straight wins this series, demonstrating dominance in both offense and defence.
While Edmonton's recent performance has been impressive, Dallas's home advantage and potential to capitalize on special teams present a compelling case. Given the odds at –130, backing the Stars on the moneyline offers value for those anticipating a resurgence on home ice. It's a calculated risk, but one that could pay off if Dallas leverages its strengths effectively.

The Dallas Stars, trailing 3-1 in the Western Conference Finals, face a pivotal Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers. Despite a strong home record of 28-10-3 this season , the Stars have struggled recently, dropping dropping three straight games after going up 1-0 after Game 1. Their defence is challenged by the absence of a key top-four defenseman, which could strain their penalty kill unit. Meanwhile, the Oilers, averaging 4 goals per game over their last four games, have been capitalizing on offensive opportunities. Dallas's starting goaltender, despite having a solid SV%, has allowed three or more goals in eight of his last ten games against the Oilers.
Given these dynamics, the over/under line set at 6 goals appears attainable. Both teams are likely to rely heavily on their top offensive units in this crucial matchup, potentially leading to a high-scoring affair. Considering the circumstances, wagering on the over could be a prudent choice.

The Edmonton Oilers enter Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals with a three-game winning streak, while the Dallas Stars aim to stay alive and force Game 6. Despite Dallas's strong home record of 28-10-3 this season, recent performances have highlighted challenges, particularly in defence. The Oilers have been capitalizing on offensive opportunities, and their goaltender has maintained a .910 save percentage in the playoffs, providing stability in net. Dallas's goaltender, despite a solid postseason save percentage, has faced difficulties in recent games, including allowing six goals on 24 shots in Game 3.
Considering the current momentum and performance metrics, backing Edmonton to cover the puckline feels like it's almost a given. While Dallas's overall season performance has been commendable, the Oilers' recent form and offensive prowess suggest they have the edge in this matchup.
