Recommended Bets: Oilers vs Stars
Game 3 of the Western Conference Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars is set for Sunday, May 25, at 3:00 PM ET at the Rogers Place in Edmonton. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN+, Sportsnet, and CBC.
The Oilers bounced back in Game 2 with a 3-0 victory, showcasing a strong defensive effort. Goaltender Stuart Skinner made 25 saves for the shutout, and the team capitalized on power-play opportunities. Brett Kulak scored his first goal in 36 games, while Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl continue to lead the offense, with Draisaitl among the playoff leaders in goals.
The Stars took Game 1 with a 6-3 win but were completely shut out in Game 2. Goaltender Jake Oettinger has been solid, especially on the road, boasting a 5-1 record with a 1.18 GAA and .956 save percentage in away playoff games. Offensively, players like Wyatt Johnston and Jason Robertson have been key contributors.
The Stars 6-goal haul in Game 1 went against their recent trend, with just two further goals scored across their last four games. They have failed to score in their last two away games but have also restricted their opponents to 3 goals or less in seven of their last nine games. The Oilers have not scored more than three in any of their last five making the Under 6 Total Goals our top pick.

Our Betting Recommendation
Looking at the trends and recent performances, the Under 6 goals line offers strong value for Game 3.
Stuart Skinner is coming off a 25-save shutout in Game 2, while Jake Oettinger boasts a stellar 1.18 GAA and .956 save percentage in six road playoff games. Both goalies have been difference-makers.
After a wide-open Game 1 (6-3 Stars), both teams adjusted defensively. Game 2 saw a much tighter, physical contest with just three total goals. The Oilers, in particular, made defensive structure a priority.
This is backed up by some recent trends:
- The Under has hit in 5 of Edmonton’s last 6 games.
- 11 of Dallas’ last 13 games against Pacific Division teams have stayed under the total.
- In 6 of Dallas’ last 8 playoff games overall, the total has gone under.
With the series tied and Game 3 pivotal, expect a cautious, playoff-style game—tighter checking, fewer odd-man rushes, and more blocked shots.
With elite goaltending, a shift toward defensive play, and a strong Under trend on both sides, taking Under 6 goals is the most statistically supported and sound bet for Game 3.
Our betting recommendation: Under 6 Goals.
Prediction: 3–1 Oilers.
