Get Edmonton Oilers vs Dallas Stars prediction, picks, and odds for Game 2 on 5-25, plus NHL Playoffs best bets and same-game parlay analysis.
While the books aren't expecting a ton of scoring in this matchup, our NHL picks think that the Stars' Wyatt Johnston can do enough to test the Oilers' defense.
Additionally, Johnston has traded at a 3.5 shot total multiple times during the playoffs, and he leads Dallas forwards in ice time per game . I value the decreased number to clear, in addition to Stars head coach Peter DeBoer’s willingness to throw his lines in a blender to create better on-ice opportunities for his best players to succeed. . Johnston, Robertson, and Stankoven only generated three shot attempts across 7:46 at five-on-five for a 21.
The eye test also showcased the Stars being a little too cute in the offensive zone to start Game 1, and it showed up statistically, with Dallas registering just four shots on eight attempts during the opening period. I anticipate the Stars simplifying their game with an added emphasis on putting pucks on net to challengeDallas has lost three consecutive Game 1s and even dropped to an 0-2 deficit in Round 1 against the Vegas Golden Knights, so I’m not anticipating any panic from the Stars.
Finally, Edmonton received a gem in goal from Skinner in the opener, and I don’t expect him to hold up game in, game out. He’s posted a .909 save percentage across 109 appearances over the past two regular seasons, so look for him to settle in between his .939 mark in Game 1 and .881 SV% across his prior 10 postseason starts.
