My 8* CENTER-ICE REPORT is on the Edmonton Oilers at 10:00 EST. Dallas beat Edmonton 4-1 at home back in October, and then Edmonton returned the favor with a 5-4 home victory on March 8th. This is the rubber match, and in my opinion, the Stars are overvalued here on the road. Dallas is coming off a 3-0-1 home stand, most recently a 3-0 victory over Minnesota (despite getting outshot 32-29.) Jake Oettinger posted his second shutout of the season. But Edmonton has won four of its last five, most recently holding on for the 5-4 win over Seattle on Saturday. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored his fourth career hat-trick. So despite missing key players like Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, I believe Edmonton is still the correct call at home here in this spot. Dallas has a game at Calgary tomorrow, and I believe it gets caught looking ahead as well. Edmonton is also in action against the Kraken on Wednesday, but the line value here is just too good to turn down on the underdog home side in my opinion. Oilers roll!
