Stanley Cup Playoffs Odds: Oilers-Stars Game 5 Prop Bets
Connor McDavid Over 3.5 Shots:: +100
Under 6.5 Goals: -150
Jake Oettinger Over 26.5 Saves: -130
Connor McDavid Over 3.5 Shots
Without a shadow of a doubt, Connor McDavid is the most exceptional skater between these two teams squaring off in the Western Conference Finals. During the regular season, it was the 27-year-old Ontario native who found the back of the net 34 times en route to recording a whopping 132 points which stood as the third-most in the league. Furthermore, in a more than important Game 5 where the victor has gone one to win 78% of the time in NHL postseason history, it only makes sense that McDavid is going to come out looking for his shot. In his last two games, he has smashed the 3.5 over in shots and will likely be more than aggressive in finding creative ways to score.
Under 6.5 Goals
Despite the Oilers acting as an offensive juggernaut and the Stars being no scrubs as well with the puck in their possession, it should still be expected that the effort defensively is going to be top-notch in this paramount showdown out on the ice.
In the first opening pair of games taking place in Dallas, there were 5 and 4 goals scored respectfully while the scoring endured a slight uptick in the two matchups in Edmonton. Indeed, many bettors will view the over in this category as a popular pick, but not so fast. With the stakes at an all-time high, don't be surprised if the defensive screws are tightened a bit. Besides, the effort from both teams in this one will be off the charts on that end of the rink and could very well result in a low-scoring affair.
Jake Oettinger Over 26.5 Saves
Last but certainly not least, wagering upon the Over 26.5 Saves from Jake Oettinger seems like a wise move. One of the more dominant net minders in today's game, Mr. Oettinger is a gigantic reason why this Dallas Stars squad has made it as far as they have.
To begin, Oettinger has reached this mark in three out of his last four games in this series despite only recording 24 saves in the Stars' 5-2 Game 4 loss. Clearly, it was a bad day at the office for Oettinger as he only stopped .857% of shots on goal and looked rather pedestrian when patrolling the crease. Nonetheless, the 25-year-0ld had been utterly remarkable in all of the other games up to this point as he averaged just a hair above 30 saves per contest up until the off night in Game 4. Obviously enough, Edmonton's offense is extremely difficult to slow down, and it is going to require Dallas's defense along with Oettinger's stonewall type of play to get over the hump. At the end of the day, trust in Oettinger to be up for the task in a big way.
