NHL Best Bet - Dallas Stars -145
(NHL) Stars (DAL) vs. Oilers (EDM),
Money Line: -145.00 Stars (DAL) (Away)
Result: Win
Dallas comes in having won two straight and has picked up a point in each of their last five games. While the Stars aren't quite as dangerous on the road as they are at home, they still own a winning record (18-14-2) and average 3.26 goals per game as the visiting team this season. Edmonton is expected to be minus both pieces of their dynamic 1-2 punch as Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are each expected to miss the next three games. That takes a whopping 75 goals (49 by Draisaitl, 26 by McDavid) and 116 assists (64 by McDavid, 52 by Draisaitl) out of the lineup. You don't just replace that kind of firepower. Edmonton put five on the board in their previous game but that was against Seattle. Dallas is fourth in the league in goals against (2.57) per game this season and should handcuff the Oilers without their two superstars.
