Dallas Stars at Edmonton Oilers Preview & Picks

Edmonton are tipped to wrap up the series with a victory on the home ice.

Momentum is firmly with the Oilers after a big road win, and not only have they rediscovered their quality on the power play, they also continue to kill off penalties.

  • Edmonton Oilers have won the last 2 games in this series
  • Edmonton have out-scored Dallas 8-3 over the last 2 games
  • The Over has cashed in each of the last 3 meetings in Edmonton
  • The Over has hit in 6 of Edmonton's 8 home playoff games (1 push)

Head To Head

  • Dallas Stars won the regular season series 2-1
  • Edmonton Oilers lead this NHL Playoffs series 3-2
  • Edmonton Oilers won 3-1 when the two teams last met on May 31

Dallas Stars Form

Dallas head back to Canada on the back of a home defeat that has left them one loss away from elimination.

The Stars, who went 52-21-9 in the regular season, opened the playoffs with back-to-back home losses against Vegas, but responded to win four of the next five games against the Golden Knights to progress.

They had to rebound from losing the series opener against Colorado too, and they did it by winning three consecutive games before rebounding from a 5-3 loss with a series-clinching 2-1 overtime victory.

Dallas' unhealthy knack for going behind early in a series continued against Edmonton too as they lost 3-2 in overtime, but they rallied from that early setback with 3-1 and 5-3 wins.

However, the Stars were unable to extend that win sequence and now find themselves behind once again, having lost 5-2 on the road and 3-1 at home.

Edmonton Oilers Form

Edmonton return home with an opportunity to clinch the series after recording another victory in Dallas.

The Oilers, who went 49-27-6 in the regular season, eased through the first round of the postseason with a 4-1 victory over Los Angeles.

The second round series against Vancouver was not as easy, but they finally advanced to the conference finals when they followed up a 5-1 home win in Game 6 with a 3-2 road victory in Game 7.

Edmonton then gave themselves an early advantage in the Western Conference Finals, winning 3-2 in overtime in Dallas, only to then suffer 3-1 and 5-3 defeats to the Stars.

The Oilers have showed their resolve though and are now just one win away from the Stanley Cup Finals, having followed up a 5-2 home win with a 3-1 victory on the road.

Verdict

Edmonton have taken over this series with back-to-back wins and are beginning to look like an unstoppable force.

We expect the Oilers to make it three wins in a row and wrap up this series.
