Pick #1: Under 6 Goals

Our most confident play in our Oilers vs Stars same-game parlay is the pick we gave out in our Oilers vs Stars Game 5 prediction. That would be the “under” of 6 goals in what should be a tight-checker affair with both teams desperate to avoid being pushed to the brink of elimination.

The “under” cashed in both of the games played in Dallas so far and is on a 7-3 run in meetings between these two clubs at American Airlines Center. Stars’ goalie Jake Oettinger tends to bounce back well, boasting a save percentage around .950 in games following a loss this postseason.

Furthermore, the sharps are clearly hammering this under, with sites like Bet365 adjusting the odds on the under from -120 to 130. Books such as FanDuel have even dropped the number to 5.5.

  • SGP Pick: Under 6 Goals (-130)

Pick #2: Dallas Stars Moneyline

In addition to taking the under on the game total, we’re going to bet the Stars to win Game 5 on their home ice. Dallas has bounced back from each of their previous four losses in this postseason by winning the following game on each occasion.

The Stars’ shutdown defense and the play of goalie Jake Oettinger have us confident the team can grind out a victory at American Airlines Center tonight. Aside from Wednesday’s contest, the Stars have held McDavid’s team to five or fewer goals in four straight meetings.

This series is unpredictable, so we can’t fault you for wanting to ride with the Oilers to continue their momentum. However, keep in mind Edmonton is 1-5 in their last five playoff games as an underdog and the Stars are 21-5 in their last 26 games following a loss of three or more goals.

  • SGP Pick: Dallas Stars Moneyline (-130)

Pick #3: Mattias Ekholm Under 1.5 Shots on Goal

The final addition to our NHL same-game parlay for Friday is going to be Mattias Ekholm under 1.5 shots on goal. There is nice value on this bet after the 34-year-old Swede exceeded projections and fired three shots on goal in Wednesday’s Game 4. However, he’s only averaged 1.75 shots on goal this postseason.

In the two games played in Dallas this postseason, Ekholm was held to zero shots in one of them and fired two shots on goal in the other game. Dallas leads the NHL in blocked shots this postseason and we expect them to clamp down like they did in Game 3 (22 blocked shots).

If your book has under 2.5 shots on goal as an option, that is the safer play, but Bet365 currently has only under 1.5. We still like this selection, as Ekholm has recorded one shot or fewer in exactly 50% of his postseason games, and we have this projected as one of the lower-event games of the postseason.

  • SGP Pick: Ekholm Under 1.5 Shots on Goal (+140)
