It was a bit of a sweat for the last couple minutes, but huge double winner on Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals for me last night, going 2-0 to win 2.5 units as the Panthers took a 3-2 series lead on the road. Tonight we have a critical Game 5 in the Western Conference Finals. Let's Go Stars!
Just like the Stars came back in impressive fashion in Game 3, the Oilers bounced right back with a fantastic comeback of their own in Game 4 on Wednesday night. Dallas started that game quick as Wyatt Johnston scored just 58 seconds into the game and they made it 2-0 just 5:29 in on Esa Lindell's goal. Edmonton came roaring back though in a must win, tying it up before the first ended and then continuing to score five straight goals to tie up the series with a 5-2 win. The Oilers were the better team, outshooting the Stars 29-22 and then outplaying them by an expected goal rate of 3.73-1.95. I underestimated the Oilers defensively a bit in this series, but I still think that Dallas is the better team. They're still my pick to win the Cup and the series, and I'm going to double down on them at home tonight for a unit, at a price that I think is too cheap. Another play I like quite a bit here is Roope Hintz, who in his return in Game 4 had the primary assists on both of Jason Robertson's goals to tie the game, to record a point. I think at a minimum he gets an assist, and could score, and -115's a great price on it, which I'll take for a unit. I'd slightly lean the over here, but not enough to bet it. The Stars haven't generated a ton of shots in this series and I considered betting on the under on Skinner's saves, but at 24.5, I feel like that's just slightly too low to bet on, so I'll lay off it.
