Command Analysis

Edmonton Oilers

Current form
Edmonton was able to successfully complete a long away series, but overall it turned out to be a failure. In five matches, the team managed to win only one victory over Carolina (3:1), and that was mainly due to the efforts of goalkeeper Picard, who deflected 35 shots out of 36. Returning to the home arena, the Oilers were supposed to consolidate their success, as they met with Anaheim, but this did not happen. In a duel with a clear outsider, huge defensive problems arose, which the Ducks took advantage of, and in the end they had to suffer a crushing defeat with a score of 2:6. This time, Picard had to be replaced at the beginning of the second period after missing four goals.
The team was also able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans and regain the lost two points at the home arena, where it met with Montreal. But there were difficulties in this fight, too. Although the Oilers created many dangerous chances in the opponent's zone, serious problems arose with their implementation, which is why the Canadiens were able to reach overtime. Nevertheless, in extra time, the hosts achieved their goal and snatched Victoria with a score of 3:2. It is worth noting that despite its decline, the club continues to remain on the fourth line in the Western Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ekholm, Frederik and Klingberg will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Edmonton is averaging 3.22 goals per game.
- On average, the Oilers receive 6.5 penalty minutes per game.

Dallas Stars

Current form
Dallas completed an excellent home streak of four matches, in all of which it was able to win. A series of successes began in the duel with Los Angeles, and due to the excellent execution of attacking chances, they managed to defeat their opponent with a score of 6:2. The most productive was striker Hintz, who scored a poker game of assists. A similar situation occurred in the next match against St. Louis, in which the Stars won a landslide victory with a three-goal difference (6:3). This time, Hintz not only provided three assists, but also scored the puck himself.
However, this is where the easy victories came to an end. The team hosted New Jersey and allowed the opponent to make a comeback in the third period. It was going to overtime, but just five seconds before the final whistle, they managed to regain the advantage and snatch Victoria in regular time (4:3). Next, Dallas faced Calgary, and this time he had to fight back himself. By the beginning of the second period, the opponent had a two-goal advantage and it was possible to equalize it only at the very end of the match. It came to overtime, where the stars still achieved their goal (3:2). Striker Robertson showed a great game, scoring a double.
Disqualifications and injuries
Haiskanen, Lundqvist and Seguin remain in Dallas' infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- The Stars are averaging 2.5 goals per game.

In three face-to-face matches out of five, the teams failed to score more than one goal in the second period.
2.55Tip and bets
As you can see, even in the home arena, Edmonton is experiencing difficulties. The team continues to be in poor shape, which is why it is inferior even to obvious outsiders. In the upcoming match, the Oilers will have to fight one of the league leaders in the person of Dallas, who is also in optimal condition and has not lost for four consecutive matches. Despite these factors, bookmakers do not single out Stars as favorites and give them a very high coefficient to win, which is definitely worth taking advantage of.
Our prediction is that Dallas will win the match in 2.00
Bet on the total
The upcoming match promises to be very productive. Both teams can boast of a very active and productive offensive game this season, which is why they are achieving success. It is unlikely that the clubs will start to sit on the defensive, which means that we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than six goals in 1.79
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Dallas has been playing a great game in the first period lately and is steadily gaining an advantage at the end of it. Given Edmonton's problems, the visitors are once again able to win in the opening period.
Prediction - Dallas wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.89
