They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. Their last win was against the San Jose Sharks while their 2 losses in that span came against the Minnesota Wild and the Vancouver Canucks in their last game. They lost that game on the road 6-2. Roope Hintz scored the only 2 goals for them in that one. Tyler Seguin led the team in shots on net in that game with 5. Jake Oettinger was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 4 goals on 19 shots with 15 saves and a .789 sv percentage.

The Oilers are coming into this game with 94 points, a 44-26-6 record overall, and they are 24-12-1 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game winning streak. Their last loss was against the Minnesota Wild while their 2 wins since then have come against the Nashville Predators and the Vegas Golden Knights in their last game. They won that game at home 4-0. Cody Ceci, Warren Foegele, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Kris Russell each scored 1 goal in that one. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins led the team in shots on net in that game with 5. Mike Smith was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 0 goals on 39 shots with 39 saves and a 1.000 sv percentage. Their offense has scored 264 goals this season averaging 3.5 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 235 goals against them allowing 3.1 goals per game. 

 

 

The Stars have not been playing very well coming into this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and have not been playing well on the road this season. They are going up against an Oilers team that has been playing very well coming into this game on a 2 game win streak and they just recorded back-to-back shut outs in their last 2 games. Their defending has been great in these games along with their goalkeeping but they have also scored 4 goals in each of their last 2 and have a very potent offense with 2 players over 100 points this season. The Oilers have been rested since Saturday having last played then and they should have a lot more energy in this game than the struggling Stars who have been traveling. The best bet in this game is on the Oilers to win here at home.

“It’s up to the rest of the guys to battle back and give them some run support and we didn’t do that. A power-play goal, a short-handed goal and that’s all we got. Your goalie gives up a bad goal, try to bail him out.” - Rick Bowness on his team’s loss against the Canucks on Monday night.

 

 

“We got contributions from up and down the lineup. Different people are finding ways to contribute, and that’s what good teams have — a lot of contributing and productive players. The way we’re asking our players to play is not an easy style. But our players are putting the work in and it’s fun to see them execute.” - Jay Woodcroft on his team’s win against the Golden Knights on Saturday night.
