The Oilers at Stars projected goaltender

Stuart Skinner (1-2-0, 4.42 GAA, .845 SV%) vs. Jake Oettinger (3-0-0, 1.63 GAA, 0.948 SV%, 1 SO)

Skinner was hittable in the early going, allowing 3+ goals in each start. He outlasted the Philadelphia Flyers in a 4-3 OT win last Tuesday, making 27 saves on 30 shots. He stopped 23 of 27 shots fired at him in a loss to Dallas in his only regular season game against Dallas last year.

This will be Oettinger's first assignment since he signed an eight-year, $66 million contract extension on Thursday. He was fantastic in his three starts, allowing just five goals on 97 shots. Otter was 1-0-1 with a 2.00 GAA and .932 SV% against Edmonton in the regular season

Oilers at Stars tips and predictions

forecast

Stars 3, Oilers 2

Money line

The Oilers had a difficult start and face Oettinger at home. He is 67-20-15 and has a 2.52 GAA at home. The STARS -125 available here at a very good price.

Puck Line/Against the Spread

Goalie props weren't available at press time, but if you can get Oettinger anywhere above 26.5 or 27.5, I'd bite. When it comes to the puck line, these teams are too close to risk it.

HAPPEN.

Over/Under

The over is 2-2 in the last 4 regular season meetings between the clubs. Edmonton is 2-2-1 O/U this year and Dallas is 1-4-0. Oettinger was so good in the early going that I don't think Edmonton can score the three goals needed to concede an over. SLIM UNDER 6 (-105).
