The current betting odds have the Oilers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 4 of a 7 game series between the 2nd seeded Stars from the Central Division and the 3rd seeded Oilers from the Pacific Division for the Western Conference Finals of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs. The Oilers are leading this series 2-1 after winning game 3 at home. The Oilers took a 2-1 series lead with a 6-1 win over the Stars in the 3rd game of this series and the Stars have now played back-to-back games where they couldn't get anything done. They have only scored 1 goal in the last 2 games of this series and the Oilers have looked like the better team in all 3 games, even the game they lost 6-3. The Oilers have been rolling over teams going back to the first round against the LA Kings and they haven't slowed down in this round. Their offense has been very hot lately with the goals they have been scoring, but now their defense has also been playing great and that is going to make it very tough for the Stars to come back in this series. The Stars haven't looked good at all in the last 2 games and they have struggled a lot more in their road games in these playoffs too. The Oilers started this series with a bad loss after a great 2 periods of hockey got derailed in the 3rd, but they have bounced back nicely in the last 2 games and look like the same team that went to the Stanley Cup Finals just a year ago. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game.

“Tonight, we were without our No. 1 center, we were on the road here in a tough environment. I thought we played a really good hockey game for a good stretch of that game. So, there’s nothing to get emotional or upset about. I think you have to be realistic with your group. I liked our compete tonight, I liked a lot of parts of our game, and we’ve got to build on that and hopefully get Roope Hintz back and get back in this series.” - Pete DeBoer after his team’s loss against the Oilers in game 3 of this series on Sunday.

“You have to win games different ways. You have to have dominant nights, you have to have nights where maybe your goalie is better than theirs. You have to have nights where your special teams gets it done. That wasn’t tonight, although I thought the kill was good. Five-on-five has been really good. It’s been our strength all playoffs long, which is maybe new for this group. We’ve relied on the power play for a long time, and for whatever reason it hasn’t been clicking. You have to find ways to win different games different ways, and we did again tonight.” - Connor McDavid after their win against the Stars in game 3 of this series on Sunday.
