The Stars-Oilers series moves to Edmonton for Game 3 with consistent expert backing for the Over 6 goals tonight.
Stuart Skinner has been feast or famine in these playoffs - he either posts shutouts or gets lit up, with no middle ground, suggesting we could see goals once Dallas breaks through.
Both teams have shown they can score in this series, as evidenced in Game 1, and the Oilers are currently getting offensive contributions from all four lines.
Dallas brings considerable offensive depth, and after being shut out in Game 2, they'll be hungry to generate more scoring chances in Edmonton.
The Oilers' offensive firepower from McDavid, Draisaitl, and Nugent-Hopkins should create quality chances, while both defensive units might struggle to maintain the Game 2 defensive showing.
The Oilers have momentum after shutting out Dallas in Game 2 and now return home with the series tied 1-1.
Edmonton's top-end talent of McDavid, Draisaitl, and Nugent-Hopkins should create numerous scoring opportunities against a Dallas team that struggled to generate offense last game.
Stuart Skinner's confidence will be sky-high after his shutout performance, and he's proven capable of stealing games when locked in.
The home-ice advantage gives Edmonton a significant edge, with the Rogers Place crowd likely to create an electric atmosphere for this pivotal Game 3.
Dallas now faces the difficult challenge of bouncing back on the road, where generating offense becomes even tougher against a defensively improved Oilers squad.
With Edmonton back on home ice, their offensive production should increase as they typically play more aggressively in front of their home crowd.
The Oilers' potent offense led by McDavid and Draisaitl has been clicking, scoring three goals in Game 2 even on the road.
Edmonton is getting contributions throughout their lineup, with all four lines providing scoring threats that can overwhelm Dallas's defensive structure.
The Stars may struggle to adapt their defensive approach on the road, creating more high-danger opportunities for the Oilers' skilled forwards.
Stuart Skinner's shutout in Game 2 should give the entire team confidence to push forward offensively, knowing their goaltender is in good form.
