Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals last night was great with the Rangers tying the series on Barclay Goodrow’s game winner in OT. I went 2-0, a nice bounce back, winning two units. Tonight we have Game 2 in the West as the Stars look to tie that series at home. Let’s win again!
Game 2 – Stars vs. Oilers (8:00)
Game 1 of this series on Thursday night was so much fun to watch, but it ultimately didn’t go my way, as the Oilers won 3-2 in double overtime. Dallas has now started all three series of these playoffs with a loss in Game 1, so I’m not too worried. All three stars scored with Edmonton’s three goals coming from Hyman, Draisaitl, and McDavid. The Oilers got out to a 2-0 lead and blew it with Tyler Seguin scoring both of the Stars goals to tie it up and take the game to overtime. The Oilers played fantastic hockey and were the better team in Game 1. They were solid defensively with good play in goal from Stuart Skinner, who made 36 saves on the 38 shots he face. The penalty kill for Edmonton was great (including the four minute penalty to McDavid to start the first overtime), but Connor McDavid after missing a great chance in the first overtime, got the win 32 seconds into double OT. The Oilers outshot Dallas 38-33, but the Stars slightly generated more expected goals, 3.88-3.66. I fully expect Dallas to bounce back with a win at home tonight to tie up the series. I’ll take the Stars to win tonight at home to even up the series for 1.5 units, which I locked in on Thursday night right after Game 1. I’d slightly lean the over in this game, but I don’t think it’s worth betting on, so I’ll stay off the total.
