Stars vs Oilers: Odds & Prediction
The Dallas Stars are +114 underdogs, while the Edmonton Oilers are -135 favorites, and the over/under is set at six goals.
Dallas rallied in Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead as Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner didn't play well but he should rebound nicely here, as Skinner has rebounded well after playing poorly in games.
The Oilers' offensive has had success against Jake Oettinger, and Edmonton should come out strong. The Oilers will also play much better defensively, as there may be some line adjustments on defense. Edmonton should emphasize defense and not make costly mistakes with the lead, as they did in Game 3.
Expect the Oilers to get an early lead again, but this time, Edmonton will play better defensively to hold onto the win.
Prediction: Oilers 3, Stars 1.
