We’re getting the cheaper price with the better and more consistent team in the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers have also played some of their best hockey on the road this season and have cashed four of their last five games as a road underdog. The Dallas Stars have yet to prove they can string wins together, and their defense falls apart way too much for my liking. The Oilers at this price feels like a steal.
