As expected, the Dallas Stars have shown well with the Stanley Cup betting odds. But the Edmonton Oilers will not be an easy out in the Western Conference Final. Few teams have more skill than the Oilers. But few teams are as complete as the Stars. Dallas rolls multiple lines without fear and is strong on the back end. Most important of all, goaltender Jake Oettinger is distinguishing himself. Of major concern to gamblers is that Dallas has the edge between the pipes. Edmonton’s Stuart Skinner revealed his weaknesses in a bad game-three loss.
