Leg 1: Dallas Stars Moneyline (-128)

The Stars have already shut down some of the best players on their way to the conference finals, so don’t be surprised if that trend continues.
The price on Dallas at home is strong, making the Stars’ moneyline price at -128 the play to kick off the parlay.

Leg 2: Under 6.5 Total Goals (-138)

Even though the Oilers are known for their superstars up front, they’ve quietly been suppressing scoring chances from their opponents.
With the Stars being one of the top defensive teams in the NHL and the Oilers not getting defensive recognition, a low-scoring series might surprise some people.
Two of the last four meetings between these teams have gone under the number.
Although there’s some juice, we’re comfortable riding with the under 6.5 at -138.

Leg 3: Wyatt Johnston to Record 3+ Shots on Goal (-152)

Johnston tallied 65 points in 82 games during the regular season and has followed that up with 11 points in 13 games during the postseason.
Johnston has averaged over 19 minutes per game over the Stars’ last five, and his increased ice time is valuable.
Johnston has recorded three or more shots on goal in each of his last three games.
