The Edmonton Oilers get a chance to recover from a third-period face plant in the series opener when they clash with the Dallas Stars in Game 2 of the Western Conference Final today. Puck drop from American Airlines Center is at 8 p.m. ET (ESPN)
As we offer our Oilers vs. Stars prediction and NHL picks, we look at whether the Stars, whose Stanley Cup odds sailed past the Oilers and they’re now the favorites across our best sports betting sites, can take a 2-0 series lead.
🔎 Our NEW NHL player prop odds tool can help you find the best NHL odds across legal sportsbooks in your area!
✅ Against the spread pick: Oilers +1.5 (-230 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐
✅ Moneyline pick: Oilers (+105 via bet365) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
✅ Over/Under pick: Under 6.5 goals (-115 via BetMGM) ⭐⭐⭐
🎯 Score prediction: Oilers 4, Stars 2
If you think you know what to expect from an Oilers playoff game, wait until the next one. More unpredictable than a toddler’s mood swings, the Oilers executed their game plan perfectly for 40 minutes in Game 1. Then came the third, where they allowed three power-play goals and were outscored 5-0.
For the first time since Game 2 against the Los Angeles Kings, things went haywire in the third, which has been Edmonton’s best 20 minutes. They were a playoff-best plus-10 in the final frame before the Game 1 implosion.
That third period will sit about as well with the collective as a chicken vindaloo eaten by someone with a spice intolerance.
Like that spice-stricken somebody, the Oilers will recover and acquit themselves the way they did in the opening 40 for the duration of Game 2, escaping Dallas with an all-important split. Most of our best NHL betting sites have the Oilers at +105, which would profit $10.50 on a winning $10 bet.
✅ Best bet: Oilers ML (+105 via bet365)
