Going into Oilers vs Stars Game 2, the Edmonton Oilers hold a 1-0 series lead. They took Game 1 of this series in Dallas in double-overtime, getting a goal from Connor McDavid during the fifth period of that contest. Now, the Oilers have a chance to take a commanding 2-0 series lead on the road, before going back to Edmonton for Games 3 and 4.

While the attention this season has been on the attacking of the Oilers, the defense of Edmonton has been what has set them apart lately in the playoffs. Edmonton has allowed two or fewer goals in four of their last five games, including Game 1 when they allowed just two goals to Dallas. If the Edmonton defense can keep that up in Game 2, they have a real chance to steal a second straight road game and to give themselves a huge advantage in this series.

Our best bet for Oilers vs Stars Game 2 is for the Dallas Stars to win at home to even this series up at a game apiece. We saw the New York Rangers win at home in Game 2 against the Florida Panthers in order to even that series up. We should see something similar in this game, as the Stars should be able to break through against the Oilers defense given how much is on the line in this contest for Dallas specifically.
