Dallas Stars vs Edmonton Oilers Betting Prediction
The Stars will come into the game riding high on confidence. They are 5-0 in their last 5 games against teams from the Western Conference and are 5-1 in their last 6 Saturday games. They have been more than a match for the Oilers historically, with the head-to-head being 61-28-1 in the last 90 meetings.
The Oilers will look to better that record with a spirited performancece. They will take confidence from the fact that they are 4-1 in their last 5 games against teams who have allowed 2 goals or less in their previous game. A home is just what they need to have an edge over the Dallas outfit.
The final word: Stars to put this past the Oilers with a barrage that could prove too much for the Oilers' defense to handle.
Prediction: Take Stars, +1.5(-165)
