LiontipsEdmonton - Dallas: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
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.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Edmonton makes 32 shots on target.
- According to statistics, the oilers win 48.6% of face-offs.
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.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Dallas holds 31 power moves.
- According to statistics, sheriffs block 15 shots

It is unlikely that Edmonton will play much worse defensively in the upcoming match, which will again create serious problems for Dallas. The Stars are already under intense pressure, which is also increasing on the road. So far, the Oilers, due to their excellent implementation of dangerous moments in attack, look much better than the stars and, with the support of the home stands, have every chance to consolidate their successes and reach the finish line in the series.
Our betting tip is for Edmonton to win the match in 1.60
Bet on the total
It is also quite possible to expect effective hockey. As you can see, almost every meeting of this series is filled with a huge number of abandoned goals, and this should continue, given the attacking potential of the clubs.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.60
Betting on the outcome of the first period
From match to match, Edmonton shows a great game at the start and consistently earns an advantage at the end of the initial segment, which is what we suggest betting on.
