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.
