Last round, the Edmonton Oilers barely got past the Vancouver Canucks. To illuminate, Edmonton was forced to rally and win the final two games. Including a decisive 7th game at Vancouver 3-2. Now the Oilers face the Dallas Stars, who eliminated the Colorado Avalanche in six Stanley Cup betting odds games. Dallas has the goaltending edge with Jake Oettinger over Edmonton’s Stuart Skinner. But Skinner did come through in Edmonton’s final two wins over the Canucks. And Edmonton does boast the best player on the ice, Connor McDavid. By contrast, the Stars are a deep team and well-structured.
