The current betting odds have the Oilers listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 4 of a 7 game series between the 1st seeded Stars from the Central Division and the 2nd seeded Oilers from the Pacific Division for the Western Conference Finals of the NHL playoffs. The Stars have a 2-1 series lead after winning game 3 of this series on the road. The Stars have looked good in this series as they are up 2-1 and they did it the same way in their previous 2 series, losing the 1st game at home. Now they have the momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row and they have flipped the home advantage in this series back to their side too. The Stars have been a really good road team this season with their 26-10-5 road record, but the Oilers have still been a better home team and they are going to bring their best effort in this game to push back and even up the series. The Oilers have been in this position already too, having to come back in their last series against the Canucks, so expect them to step up on their home ice here. It was their defense that let them down in the last game as they gave up 5 goals after taking a 2-0 lead in the 1st period, but their defense has been solid in this series so far so they will be looking to play a much better game on defense here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game.

“We gutted it out while (Hintz) was out of the lineup. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t as pretty as it was tonight when he was out, but we still found ways. Guys still found ways to contribute without a key player. That’s what I’m most proud of. It was great that he was back tonight, but I’m really proud of how we handled his absence.” - Pete DeBoer after his team’s win against the Oilers in game 3 of this series on Monday.

“You never know what a player’s going to bring after a stretch of not playing. Usually it’s very hard for a player to find their game, but I don’t think he had any problems. He made a lot of nice plays, obviously with the goal. I thought he was pretty good on the faceoff, and it was nice having him.” - Kris Knoblauch after his team’s loss against the Stars in game 3 of this series on Monday.
