The current betting odds have the Oilers listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 6 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 Oilers have a 3-2 series lead after winning game 5 of this series on the road. The Oilers started this series up 1-0 before going down 2-1, but now they have the momentum back on their side with 2 wins in a row. The Stars haven't been able to do much offensively in this series, they have been getting outplayed by the Oilers and haven't been putting pucks in the net either. The Oilers strength is their offense, but right now their defense has been solid and until the Stars can break them down, the Oilers have a big edge with that offense. The Oilers also have the edge with their goalkeeping with Skinner playing on his head right now while Oettinger has been struggling lately. The Oilers have a chance to close out this series on home ice so they are going to bring their best effort to get the job done here as they have the momentum on their side. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game and close out the series.

“If you’re going to draw up a road game, that’s pretty much what you want to do. Come out, get two power-play goals early in the game, get the lead and then defend well all night.” - Pete DeBoer after his team’s loss against the Oilers in game 5 of this series on Friday.

“Stu was just solid. He was square, he was quick. We won 3-1 tonight, and I think that’s a little skewed. I don’t think we were that much better tonight. I think just the fact that Stu had so many big saves gave us a little bit of a cushion and made it look easier than it was for our team.” - Kris Knoblauch after his team’s win against the Stars in game 5 of this series on Friday.
