LiontipsDallas Stars - Edmonton Oilers: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Dallas faced Colorado in the first round of the playoffs and showed an unstable game, which is why it almost left the draw. Nevertheless, in the decisive match, the team played reliably on the defensive at home, thereby being able to cope with the Avalanche. During this series, the team picked up the pace and was able to successfully start in the quarterfinals, defeating Winnipeg in the first match (3:2). However, in the return guest match, the Stars unexpectedly suffered a rout, and a dry one (0-4).
Returning to the home arena, the team not only rehabilitated itself in front of the fans, but also managed to earn a critical advantage in the series, winning two more victories over the Jets with a score of 5:1 and 3:1, respectively. As expected, Dallas again had problems with the implementation of attacking chances, which led to another failure (0-4). In the final match, due to a strong defensive line, the club was able to put the game into overtime, where it still got the fourth victory, thereby getting a ticket to the semifinals. One of the reasons for the Stars' success is its excellent implementation of numerical superiority, which currently remains the best among all playoff teams.

Current form
Edmonton showed unstable results throughout the regular season, but still made it to the playoffs without any problems and showed in the first round of the Stanley Cup that it was clearly aiming for the finals. Indeed, in the opening series with Los Angeles, the team won four consecutive victories after losing the opening match. In particular, it is worth noting the club's great attacking game, which made it possible to easily beat the Kings.
In the quarterfinals, the Oilers faced an even more serious opponent in the face of Vegas and won in the first two away matches, thereby returning to the home arena with a comfortable advantage. At home, the Oilers were very close to winning for the third time in a row, but they were able to put the game into overtime, missing the puck just a second before the final whistle and losing in regular time (3:4). As expected, Edmonton quickly rehabilitated itself in front of the fans and in the very next match beat the opponent dry (3:0), and then snatched the final victory in overtime (1:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Picard and Ekholm will not be able to play in the upcoming meeting.

Dallas stands out as the favorite in the upcoming match, for which there are certain reasons. The team will be playing at its home arena, where, with the support of the fans, it has been showing excellent results throughout the Stanley Cup and has suffered only one defeat. But Edmonton, in turn, often performs uncertainly and, if successful, then with great difficulty. So we suggest betting on a successful start of the series from the stars.

Betting on the outcome of the first period
