Dallas Stars at Edmonton Oilers Preview & Picks

Dallas are tipped to open up a two-game lead in the series with another road win.

The Stars have been outstanding on the road in the playoffs, continuing their great form from the regular season, and that makes them appealing underdogs once again.

  • Dallas Stars are 6-1 on the road in the playoffs so far
  • Dallas Stars are 14-2 in their last 16 road games overall
  • Dallas Stars have are 4-2 against Edmonton this season
  • The Under has cashed in 3 of the last 4 meetings

Head To Head

  • Dallas Stars won the regular season series 2-1
  • Dallas Stars lead this NHL Playoffs series 2-1
  • Dallas Stars won 5-3 when the two teams last met on May 27

Dallas Stars Form

Dallas go into this matchup knowing that a victory will give them the chance to clinch the series in Game 5.

The Stars, who went 52-21-9 in the regular season, made a slow start to the playoffs as they lost back-to-back home games against Vegas.

They bounced back to win four of the next five meetings though, completing the comeback with a 2-1 victory in Game 7.

Dallas had to bounce back from losing the series opener against Colorado too, and they did just that with a three-game streak, before responding to a 5-3 loss with a series-clinching 2-1 victory in overtime.

The Stars' unhealthy knack for going behind early continued in the first game of this series too, as they lost 3-2 in overtime to Edmonton, but they have again showed resiliency with 3-1 and 5-3 wins.

Edmonton Oilers Form

Edmonton go into their second home game of the series looking to bounce back from a couple of defeats that have left them 2-1 down.

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

The second round proved to be a tougher challenge as they went all seven games against Vancouver, finally getting the job done with a 5-1 home win in Game 6, and a 3-2 road victory in Game 7.

Edmonton gave themselves an early advantage in the Western Conference Finals, winning 3-2 in overtime in Dallas, but they have been unable to build on that.

The Oilers fell to a 3-1 defeat in the second game of the series, before falling to a 5-3 defeat in their opening home game.

Verdict

Dallas have been outstanding on the road this season, especially in the playoffs, so we are backing the Stars for another upset win.
