The current betting odds have the Stars listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Stars have looked really good in their games this season with their 45-21-4 record overall which has them in 2nd place of their division in the West and in a playoff spot. They have been a decent road team too with their 18-14-2 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Oilers have looked really good in their games this season with their 41-24-5 record overall which has them in 3rd place of their division in the West and in a playoff spot. They have also looked really good on home ice with their 22-11-3 home record this season. The Oilers are coming off a tight win over the Kraken in their last one and they are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games too, but they were in 2nd place in their division and have been sliding down the standings lately. Now they are dealing with some injuries to key players in their lineup too. The Stars have also looked good lately as they are 6-2-2 in their last 10 games and they have some momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row now, even shutting out the Wild in their last one. The Oilers have looked a lot better on home ice this season, but the Stars have been rolling lately and they can take advantage of the Oilers without some key players here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Stars to win this game.
