Oilers vs Stars Prediction
The Oilers have played their best hockey at home, and maybe getting a big win over the Panthers gets things into gear. The problem is the Oilers have been hit or miss all season, and before that win over Florida had issues defensively that resulted in ugly losses. The truth is, the Stars have been the better team this season, and they have 7 road wins.
The Stars also beat the Oilers earlier this month in a shootout. The Stars have earned points in 8 of their last 10 games and have shown they can win in an offensive game or a defensive grind it out. We’re getting the better price with the team playing the better, more consistent hockey. Give me the plus money.
