Vegas Writer's NHL Morning Skate

Saturday's edition of the "Morning Skate" recaps a three-game card that included a game where three players notched their first career four-point games as the Winnipeg Jets extended their franchise-record season-opening winning streak.

Heading into Saturday, we still have three unbeaten teams: Calgary (4-0-0), Winnipeg (4-0-0) and Tampa Bay (3-0-0). Only one was in action last night, as the Jets torched the San Jose Sharks in an 8-3 blowout.

Let's take a look at the main highlight from Friday:

Through the first 10 nights:

Favorites are 45-26, including a 20-7 run since Tuesday.
Overs are 34-32-5.

Tonight's FEATURED GAME (lines courtesy DraftKings):

Edmonton at Dallas (-110, 6o, -115)

Edmonton visits the Dallas Stars in a rematch of the 2024 Western Conference Final in which the Oilers advanced to the Stanley Cup Final after six games.

That series opened with a double-overtime winner from Connor McDavid and closed with an emotional 2-1 Oilers Game 6 victory that saw McDavid open the scoring and then assist on the series-clinching goal. McDavid led all players in the series with 3 goals and 7 assists in six games played.

Edmonton has won three straight from Dallas, and six of the last 10, while the guest has won five of the last nine meetings between these Western Conference rivals.

PREDICTION: As contentious as this rivalry can be, and the fact five of the last seven meetings have stayed under, I can see how this final tally could stay low. Dallas comes into this one ranked 27th in the league with 2.60 goals-for-per-game, while Edmonton ranks 30th with 2.2 gpg.
