Oilers vs Stars Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this contest battling for playoff position in the Western Conference, but Edmonton will have the home ice advantage. The Oilers are 22-11-3 at home this year, while the Stars are 18-14-2 on the road. Dallas hasn’t played their best over their last eight games, but they should have the upper hand in this matchup. Edmonton continues to be without Draisaitl and McDavid, who are their top two players, and they struggled to get by a bad Seattle team last time out. Dallas is one of the best defensive teams in the NHL, and I think Edmonton is going to struggle to generate chances. Take the Stars here.
