The current betting odds have the Oilers listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 3 of a 7 game series between the 1st seeded Stars from the Central Division and the 2nd seeded Oilers from the Pacific Division for the Western Conference Finals of the NHL playoffs. This series is all tied up 1-1 after the Stars won game 2 of this series on their home ice. The Oilers lost game 2 in a 3-1 game but they did do their job in those 2 games as they managed to split them and have now flipped the home advantage in the series back to their side. The Oilers managed to take game 1 in this series and they haven't nearly looked as good in their road games this season so taking advantage of these two games on home ice is going to be a focus for them. The Oilers have been more defensive in the first 2 games of this series as their offense hasn't really broken out yet, but this is a great opportunity for their offense to break out on home ice with a big win here. The Oilers are due for a big offensive output in this game and they are going to need the goals too since the Stars have been scoring more goals in their road games than they have been at home lately so expect a big offensive effort from the Oilers with McDavid stepping up at home after being quiet the last few games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game.

“The first period, for whatever reason, we were tentative. We had talked about playing with the Game 7 mindset, and I think our intentions were in the right place. We looked like we were waiting for something to happen. We kind of regrouped at the end of the first. ... I loved the second and third, thought they were excellent.” - Pete DeBoer after his team’s win against the Oilers in game 2 of this series on Saturday.

“Obviously, we had a lot of shots and all that…. It wasn’t like we were dominated or anything. Going into the third, you know it’s going to be one of those, it’s a shot from the blue line, it’s a tip, it’s a greasy goal if you will, but they obviously got it." - Mattias Ekholm after their loss against the Stars in game 2 of this series on Saturday.
