Leg 1: Edmonton Oilers Moneyline (+108)

  • The Stars and Oilers will play Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals in Dallas. The teams split the first four games, and the Oilers won Game 4 with a much-needed come-from-behind victory to even the series. 
  • Not much has separated these teams through four games, but injuries could start playing a factor here. 
  • The Stars are beat up on defense, with multiple key defensemen’s status uncertain tonight. That alone should help create some value for the Oilers in Game 5. 
  • The Oilers are excellent at suppressing shots and keeping teams out of the danger areas. 
  • The Oilers can pounce as plus-money road underdogs and move one win away from advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Leg 2: Over 5.5 Total Goals (-128)

  • Even though the Oilers are known for their superstars up front, they’ve quietly been great defensively, much like the Stars. 
  • Through four games, two contests have been under 5.5, and two have gone over it. The most recent two matchups have gone over the number. 
  • With Chris Tanev’s status uncertain for the Stars, the Oilers would have an advantage, knowing he can shut down their top offensive talent.
  • With how this series has shifted, we’re looking for another high-scoring matchup in Dallas.

Leg 3: Leon Draisaitl Anytime Goal Scorer (+155)

  • Although much of the focus isn’t directed his way because of Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl is essential to the Oilers’ success. 
  • Draisaitl has again had a dominant postseason run for the Oilers, tallying 26 points in 16 games. 
  • Draisaitl has scored in two of the four games against Dallas. 
  • Draisaitl is getting good chances to score, and his solid plus-money price is too reasonable to pass up in Game 5. 

Total Value = +487
