Oilers at Stars

The BetQL Model assigns a star rating (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐= best value; ⭐= least value) to every bet for every game in every sport, every day.

For Oilers at Stars, the BetQL Model sees great value in a couple of bets, including the Oilers full-game moneyline -105 (⭐⭐⭐⭐) and the Oilers first-period moneyline +100 (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐). Check out all of our daily NHL best bets right here.

The Stars have won their last three home games and they're looking to make that four against the Oilers. The Oilers have won four of their last six games and superstar Connor McDavid has scored 12 goals in 17 games, while Leon Draisaitl is leading the NHL with 18 goals. Draisaitl also leads the league in points with 35, while McDavid follows him with 32.

So the Stars have a challenge in stopping this dynamic duo. And they have a chance in their guy Jamie Benn, who has a three-game goal streak going and has five total points in his last five games. He has also seen some success against the Oilers, as he has one goal and two assists in his past three games against them. So if Benn is on his game at home and the Stars can limit McDavid and Draisaitl, Dallas might have a chance. But I wouldn't bet against the Oilers to win this one.

To calculate those star ratings, the Model crunches every player and team stat imaginable and spits out projections for every game. In this case, the Model projects the Oilers will score 3.3 goals to the Stars' 2.7 goals and gives the Oilers a 55.23% chance to win the game, and a 57.62% chance to win the first period. BetQL also grades each team in different areas to show you where each might have an advantage.

Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner is getting an B grade from BetQL in this matchup, while Stars goalie Braden Holtby, who is day-to-day, is getting a lower grade of a C, so the Oilers have the advantage here, too.
