The Dallas Stars come into this game with a 5-1-1 record and are in second place in the Central Division. The Edmonton Oilers have struggled to start the season at 2-5-1, and are sixth in Pacific Division. Dallas is getting it done once again with their defense. They are killing off 95% of their penalties and have a goalie in Jake Oettinger, that is giving up 1.74 goals a game. The Dallas offense has not been great but when you have given up just 17 goals this season, you can still win games with limited scoring. The same can't be said for the Oilers on the defensive end of the ice. They rank 26th in the league with 26 goals allowed. The Oilers offense had not been as explosive without Connor McDavid in the lineup, but that should pick up with his return. It doesn’t matter how many goals they score if their goalies can’t stop the puck. This will be the second game of a back-to-back for the Stars. Dallas has been consistent on both ends of the ice which should give them an advantage in this one. Even if Oettinger doesn’t go tonight, their backup has played well and I have no faith in the Oilers netminders.

Play on Dallas. This is a 3% play.
