For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Stars to secure a victory over the Oilers on the road. With the moneyline currently set at +111, I’m locking in my bet on the Stars straight-up.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Stars winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Stars straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
