Given that the specific odds are yet to be determined, it’s crucial for bettors to monitor the lines as they open, considering the recent performances and historical matchups between these two teams.
Goaltender Jake Oettinger vs. Goaltender Stuart Skinner
Jake Oettinger of the Dallas Stars has been quite reliable between the two teams and has played in 54 games for the Dallas Stars with a save percentage of 0.905. At the same time, meeting with the Oilers having such strike pairs as McDavid and Draisaitl, Oettinger’s endurance will be the key factor in ensuring the triumph of Dallas in this game.
On the other side, Stuart Skinner for the Oilers has been the counterpart of Oettinger with both players having a 0.905 save percentage in 59 games. Thus, Skinner’s skills in preventing the Stars’ forwards group that includes Jason Robertson and Joe Pavelski will be as important for the Oilers to turn the tide of the series.
Dallas’s Dynamic Duo: Robertson and Pavelski
The Stars’s offense is led by Jason Robertson and Joe Pavelski, who have remained productive all through the regular season. Hence, Robertson who has been enjoying a relatively high score of 80 points out of 82 games and Pavelski who boasts of an additional 67 points from his game are strong prospects. Their efficiency in the power play in particular could be the game’s decider in this closely-fought series.
Oilers’ Offensive Powerhouses: McDavid and Draisaitl
Edmonton has pretty much pinned its strategy on Connor McDavid, who has 132 points in this season, and Leon Draisaitl with 106 points. Controlling their ability to deep into the opponents’ territory and their efficiency on the power play will heavily influence how the Stars’ defense and Oettinger will be subdued.
