Oilers vs. Stars Prediction

I’m on the Stars here. I get that plus money with the Oilers is tempting as anytime you have Connor McDavid on your side you’re going to have a shot to win a game. However, the Stars are pushing for the division title right now and are on absolute fire, winning 7 straight and they’ve been consistently good, home and away. The Stars have been better on the road, but the Oilers have been better at home, and historically have had issues with the Stars. I think Dallas wins this one on home ice so give me Dallas in this one.
