Stars on the Money Line (-130)
Despite the Edmonton Oilers` strong performance in the last three games, predictions suggest the Dallas Stars have a good chance to win Game 5 on their home ice and extend the series. Dallas had a strong home record before the series, including seven straight wins prior to their 3-0 shutout loss to Edmonton in Game 2 at the American Airlines Center. Some models calculate the Stars winning outright in nearly 60% of simulations.
Under 6 Goals (-115)
The total score has gone under 6 goals in two of the four games played so far in this series. For the entire season, the Under has been a frequent outcome for both teams, hitting in over half their games. Edmonton`s goaltender, Stuart Skinner, has been particularly effective recently, allowing just two goals across the last three games, highlighted by his 25-save shutout in Game 2 in Dallas.
