Betting insights

  • Edmonton's 1-0 win in Game 4 was an anomaly. The Oilers have averaged 4.31 goals per game against the Kings in 16 previous postseason meetings.
  • The over is 6-1-2 against a 6-goal total in the last nine postseason games played between these teams in Edmonton.
  • Vegas and Dallas are tied 2-2, but the latter has been the better team. The Stars have generated far more high-danger chances (68-to-36), per Natural Stat Trick. The under is 4-2-1 against a 6-goal total in the head-to-head battle this season.
