Edmonton Oilers vs Dallas Stars Game 1 Prediction – 5/23/2024
The Edmonton Oilers face off against the Dallas Stars on May 23, 2024 in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Oilers are underdogs at +110 and the Stars are favorites at -130. The game is set to begin at 8:30 pm ET, promising an exciting matchup between these two competitive teams. Who will come out on top? Stay tuned to find out.
Going into Oilers vs Stars Game 1, the biggest factor could be the rest advantage that the Stars have working in their favor. Dallas has not had to take the ice in six days, while the Oilers had to grind out a Game 7 win over the Vancouver Canucks to advance to this stage back on Monday. With the Stars having so much more time to recover from their second-round series win over the Colorado Avalanche, we could see Dallas start out better in this series opener from the Metroplex.
Dallas' defense has also become a major story in these playoffs. They held the Avalanche to just one goal in three of the final four games of their series in the second round. While it may not be realistic to expect the Stars to do the same to an Oilers team that might be the most lethal offensive team in the NHL this season, Dallas could conceivably hold Edmonton's attack in check well enough to win this series.
Our best bet for this series opener is for the Stars to win at home as slight favorites. While this should be an evenly matched series throughout, the rest edge for the Stars in this game is too much to overlook against an Oilers team that just had to battle through a Game 7 in a rivalry series in the last round. Look for the Stars to come out with fresher legs and to take a 1-0 series lead going into Game 2.
