Western Conference Final Showdown: Stars vs. Oilers Game 6

The Dallas Stars face off against the Edmonton Oilers this Sunday in Game 6 of their best-of-7 Western Conference Final series. With the Oilers leading 3-2, the game promises high stakes and intense action. Puck drop is set for 8 p.m. ET at Rogers Place, with live coverage on TNT. Let’s dive into the odds and expert predictions from BetMGM Sportsbook for this critical matchup.

In Game 5, the Oilers triumphed 3-1 on the road as underdogs. Critics and fans alike had doubted Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner, but he delivered a stellar performance, saving 19 of 20 shots. Edmonton jumped to a 3-0 lead, scoring once in the 1st period and twice in the 2nd, and maintained their advantage despite a late goal from the Stars with 5:51 remaining in the 3rd period.

Key players for the Oilers included center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who netted two power-play goals early in the 2nd period, and defenseman Philip Broberg, who scored his first career postseason goal. Their contributions were crucial in silencing the Stars and their home crowd.

The Stars, however, have shown resilience in elimination games this season, narrowly defeating the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 7 of the opening round. Historically, Dallas is 4-9 in their last 13 elimination games, while Edmonton boasts a 4-0 record in their last 4 closeout opportunities, including a perfect 2-0 this postseason.

After watching the previous match, I cannot see the Oilers losing at home at Rogers Place. Therefore, my bet is on the Oilers to win, including overtime @1.69, and secure their spot in the finals. Additionally, I have another bet: the match will have over 5 goals @1.65.
