      NHL Western Conference Finals predictions from SBR's Gary Pearson:

      Oilers to Win Series (-110 DraftKings)

      "There's not much to choose between these teams, which should make for an instant classic. If you've followed our picks and predictions throughout the season, I've been bullish about the Oilers. And I'm not stopping now, as they can beat you in any number of ways.

      Concede the first goal, no worries. Go into the third period at a deficit; all good. Win in enemy environments. Their 4-2 road record in the playoffs, which includes four straight wins, speaks volumes. Excluding the opening two games of the postseason, it hasn't mattered who's between the pipes.

      Want to go toe-to-toe with the Oilers in a run-in-gun, high-scoring affair? I dare you.

      How about a low-scoring, defensive slugfest? Refer back to Games 4 and 5 against Vegas. Is dragging the game into overtime the way to go? Their 3-0 sudden death record says otherwise.

      The Oilers are among the most balanced offenses in these playoffs. Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid were in on just 20% of the goals in the second round against the Golden Knights and 18.5% in the opening round against the Los Angeles Kings. Those percentages are way down from 30.1% in the regular season.

      Unless Oettinger stands on his head throughout, the Oilers should get back to the dance.​"


      Oilers vs Stars Series Best Bets:

      Oilers to win series 4-3 (+430 FanDuel)
      Top goal scorer: Leon Draisaitl (+289 FanDuel)
      Correct score after 3 games: Oilers 2-1 (+130 FanDuel)

              I like the Oilers. Really just one angle:
              *Guy like McDavid normally wins a Cup. Sooner or later.
              *Athletic peak is cruel and comes quicker than people think. His numbers are down slightly.
              *Might be now or never. Been forever since a Canadian team won the Cup. This might be the year.
              Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?
