Dallas Stars - Edmonton Oilers: NHL match betting tip

Current form

Dallas approached this Stanley Cup in amazing form and was able to cope with one of the most dangerous opponents in the first round in the face of Colorado. The Stars were one step away from relegation, but returning to their home arena, they realized the advantage of their native ice and confidently coped with the avalanches, thereby earning themselves a ticket to the quarterfinals. In the next stage, the team fought with Winnipeg and this time did not meet such fierce resistance from the opponent, winning the series with a final score of 4:2.

The stars began the semifinals at home, where they left no chance for Edmonton in the first match, defeating it with a score of 6:3. What is especially noteworthy is that by the end of the second period, the Oilers had a two-goal advantage, but in the final segment the hosts completely turned the game around, realizing three majorities and throwing the last puck into an empty net. The most productive was striker Seguin, who scored a double and gave an assist.

Current form

Edmonton has been very productive offensively throughout the regular season and continued to do so in the playoffs. The high percentage of chances realized over and over again allowed the team to compensate for the far from reliable defensive play, and mainly due to this, the Oilers got this far. In the first round, they suffered only one defeat from Los Angeles, gaining the upper hand in the series with a score of 4:1. A similar situation occurred in the quarterfinals, where the team surprisingly showed decent defensive play and also ended the series with a single setback.

But the semi-final started as poorly as possible for the club. In the first two periods, Edmonton looked much better than Dallas and was able to earn a significant advantage. It seemed that the team would not let the victory slip out of their hands, but two stupid deletions in the third period led to the Stars equalizing the score. This severely affected the moral component of the team, and as a result, they had to suffer a crushing defeat with a score of 3:6.

Disqualifications and injuries

Picard and Ekholm will not be able to play in the upcoming meeting.

Interesting betting trends

• Edmonton statistically wins 48% of face-offs.
• On average, the oilers make 35 shots on target.
