Why you should support the stars

While the Oilers have played a lot of high-scoring games this season, the goaltending in the current round is keeping the Over from hitting and that has a lot to do with Jake Oettinger. The Stars’ starting goaltender has surrendered just one goal in four of his last six playoff appearances, including Game 2 of this series when he held Edmonton to a solo goal on 29 shots. He also won five of six games in these playoffs.

The Stars continue to receive contributions from different parts of their lineup. Tyler Seguin moved from the third line to the center of the first line after finding the back of the net twice in Game 1 of this series. Meanwhile, captain Jamie Benn has scored in two of the last three games and defenseman Esa Lindell helped lead Dallas to victory in Game 2. See who to support on SportsLine.

Why you should support the Oilers

Simply put, the Oilers are a tough team to keep at home. They have won three of their last four playoff games at home and have done so by finding the back of the net, with the Over hitting four of their last six games at Rogers Place. Leon Draisaitl (25), McDavid (23) and Evan Bouchard (21) lead all skaters in playoff points.

It doesn’t hurt that Stuart Skinner has played very well since being on the bench for two games in the last round. He’s 3-1 in his last four games with a 1.62 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage, which is a big reason why the Under has scored in each of Edmonton’s last three games despite many of his attempts in the playoffs have been high-scoring.
