Dallas Stars vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 5/25/25, 11:47 AM  by Edgar Jibran in NHL Picks

The third game of the NHL Western Conference final will take place next Sunday at 01:00 pm CST, being worth noting that it’ll be the first to be played at Edmonton, a context that the Oilers must take advantage of after tying the series (1-1) after their most recent confrontation against Dallas Stars in Texan territory. In this matter, the Canadian squad has still ratified to be one of the most competitive teams in the playoffs despite not having a great consistency in the regular season.

Additionally, it must be taken into consideration that Edmonton Oilers were able to take advantage during the first two games of the season, but being overconfident was the error that cost them losing the first game. However, it’s very important for them to carry on having players like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on a very good shape, as he’s always available to appear even if Leon Draisaitl is nullified.

Meanwhile, Dallas Stars haven’t been able to get the results they wanted during their home games as they were fully dependent on the powerplay situations, a strategy that perfectly worked during the first game of the series, which they won 6-3. However, they looked very offensive inoperant during the second game, in which only Mikael Granlund was able to shoot more than 4 times on target.
