Dallas Stars ML over Edmonton Oilers (-118)

To start our Oilers vs Stars Same Game Parlay, we’re targeting another Dallas win. Dallas’ deep scoring depth and strong defensive structure makes them a slight favorite in Game 2. It also helps that they are playing at home, where they are 7-1 so far this postseason. The Stars gave Edmonton goaltender Stuart Skinner fits in Game 1, and his postseason woes continue to be an issue for the Oilers. Skinner owns a less-than-ideal .872 save percentage in the playoffs, as well as a goals-against average of 3.39. Calvin Pickard remains sidelined with an injury, meaning we will most likely see Skinner between the pipes again in Game 2. With the way Dallas can score goals in a hurry, Skinner could be in for a long night once again. Look for Dallas to give Skinner issues while Jake Oettinger holds things down in net.

Mikko Rantanen anytime goalscorer (+140)

Mikko Rantanen continues to lead the way offensively for Dallas. Rantanen has totaled 20 points so far this postseason, scoring 9 goals and dishing out 11 assists. However, he has just 1 point over his last 3 games. He is still creating plenty of chances and putting pressure on his opponents, along with seeing plenty of ice time on Dallas’ top line and top powerplay unit. With the way he’s been rolling in the postseason, it’s only a matter of time before he orchestrates another big performance. Tonight could be that night. Edmonton is allowing goals in bunches, so look for Rantanen to come out aggressive in search of his first goal since Game 3 of the 2nd round against Winnipeg on May 11.

Connor McDavid over 3.5 shots on goal (+125)

With hopes of avoiding an 0-2 hole in this series, Edmonton will be looking for their stars to lead the way in Game 2. It’s no surprise that Connor McDavid leads the Oilers in shots on goal this postseason with 47, and he could be looking to put pucks on net early and often tonight. McDavid has 19 points in the playoffs, but has found the back of the net just 3 times. He’s racking up plenty of assists but has gone 3 games without a goal. He’s still firing plenty of shots on goal, as he’s averaging 3.9 shots per game so far this postseason. He put 4 shots on goal in Game 1 and should be able to reach that number, and possibly exceed it, in Game 2 to bring home our Oilers vs Stars Same Game Parlay.
