Edmonton Oilers Form

Edmonton will look to level the Western Conference Final series before heading home for Games 3 and 4.

The Oilers opened this series on the road and suffered a 6-3 defeat at the hands of Dallas on Wednesday.

They came into this series having won eight of their previous 11 postseason games to make it to this stage.

Edmonton dug themselves into an early hole in the playoffs as they lost back-to-back games in Los Angeles, 6-5 and 6-2, but their response was strong.

The Oilers reeled off four straight victories over the Kings to wrap up the series, winning 7-4, 4-3 (OT), 3-1 and 6-4.

They then made a dream start to the series against Vegas as they won 4-2 in regulation and 5-4 in overtime in ‘Sin City’ to take command.

Edmonton lost their opening home game, 4-3, but issued an immediate response as they wrapped up a 4-1 series victory with 3-0 and 1-0 (OT) wins over the Golden Knights.

Dallas Stars Form

Dallas go into Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals aiming to double their series lead before they head out on the road.

The Stars have home advantage for this series and made the most of it in the series opener as they beat Edmonton 6-3.

It was a strong start for a team that played 13 games to make it to the conference finals.

Dallas opened the playoffs with a 5-1 defeat at home to Colorado, but responded with a 4-3 overtime victory at home and a 2-1 overtime win on the road.

The Stars then rebounded from a 4-0 defeat with a 6-2 victory, before bouncing back from a 7-4 loss with a series-clinching 4-2 victory when they hosted the Avalanche for Game 7.

They made a stronger start against Winnipeg as they won 3-2 on the road, and they then bounced back from a 4-0 defeat to the Jets with 5-2 and 3-1 wins at home.

Dallas failed to clinch on the road in Game 5, losing 4-0, but they did not make the same mistake in Game 6 as they ran out 2-1 winners in overtime at home. 

Verdict

Dallas have done a tremendous job of defending their home ice in the playoffs so far.

The Stars have won seven straight at the American Airlines Center, and we are backing them to make it eight-in-a-row here.
