Edmonton - Dallas: NHL match betting tip

Current form

Edmonton picked up a great pace during the playoffs, but could not successfully start the semifinal series with Dallas. The team played on the road and in the first two periods earned a significant two-goal advantage. Everything went to victory, but in the final segment, the opponent realized the majority three times, which eventually led to an unexpected crushing defeat (3-6). Goalkeeper Skinner failed to back up the club, deflecting only 81% of shots.

The Oilers did a lot of work on the mistakes and played much more reliably in the second leg, receiving only three deletions. Goalkeeper Skinner also showed a great game, deflecting all the shots, which allowed him to win a 3-0 victory and rehabilitate himself in front of the fans.  Returning to their home arena, the Oilers also showed reliable hockey and realized almost all their points due to a very weak offensive play and individual skill of the players, thereby defeating the Stars with a five-goal difference (6:1). In particular, it is worth noting the first link, which together scored 11 effective actions.

Disqualifications and injuries

Brown and Ekholm remain in doubt.

Current form

Dallas is showing very unstable results in this playoff, which started with the opening series. The team met with Colorado and alternated between confident victories and complete failures, which almost led to relegation from the Stanley Cup. A similar situation occurred in the next round, but the Stars still managed to avoid serious problems and ended the series ahead of schedule with a score of 4:2. The team began the semi-finals at home, where they confidently defeated Edmonton in the first match (6:3). Most of the success was achieved due to the excellent implementation of numerical superiority.

After that, the opponent began to play much more reliably defensively and practically stopped moving away, which became a serious problem for Dallas. In the second leg, he couldn't score a single goal at all, losing dry (0-3). However, so far the club's most disastrous performance was an away match, in which constant defensive errors allowed the Oilers to carry out the sharpest possible counterattacks and led to a crushing defeat (1-6). Goalkeeper Ottinger showed his worst side, deflecting only 75% of shots.

Disqualifications and injuries

Lundqvist definitely won't play. Hintz is also questionable.
