In Game 4, Edmonton won 4-1 but lost Zach Hyman for the rest of the playoffs due to an injury. The Oilers were led by Leon Draisaitl, who had a goal and an assist, Corey Perry had a goal and an assist, while Adam Henrique and Kasperi Kapanen also scored.<\/p>\n<p>The Oilers will start Stuart Skinner, who has been stellar in this series. Skinner went 26-18-4 with a 2.81 GAA and a .896 SV%. In his career against Dallas, he&#8217;s 5-4 with a 3.42 GAA and a .874 SV%. In the playoffs, Skinner is 5-4 with a 2.47 GAA and a .910 SV%.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/nhl\/dallas-stars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Dallas<\/a>, meanwhile, struggled in both games on the road and now needs to win three straight games. The Stars have scored just two goals in their last three games.<\/p>\n<p>The Stars will start Jake Oettinger, who needs to be better in Game 5. Oettinger went 36-18-4 with a 2.59 GAA and a .909 SV% in the regular season. In his career against Edmonton, he&#8217;s 5-3-1 with a 2.80 GAA and a .907 SV%. In the playoffs, he&#8217;s 9-8 with a 2.72 GAA and a .908 SV%.<\/p>\n<h2>Oilers vs Stars: Odds &amp; Prediction<\/h2>\n<p>Edmonton is a +110 underdog while Dallas is a -130 favorite, and the over\/under is set at 5.5 goals.<\/p>\n<p>The Stars return home with their season on the line, and Dallas should come out strong here and likely get out to an early lead. Oettinger, meanwhile, did play well in Game 4 as two goals were empty netters, so he should be able to continue that success here.<\/p>\n<p>Edmonton will miss Hyman in the lineup as Dallas will get the win to extend the series at least for one more game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Stars 4, Oilers 2. <\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Oilers vs Stars: Betting Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Tip 1: Dallas ML (-130)<\/p>\n<p>Tip 2: Over 5.5 goals (-130)<\/p>\n<p>Tip 3: Connor McDavid 4+ shots on goal (+105)<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/957157-1716736522-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Cole Shelton&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nCole is an NHL, NFL and College Sports reporter at Sportskeeda with over 7 years of experience writing for publications like CBC, USA Today, SMG, BJPENN, Sherdog and SB Nation.<\/p>\n<p>An NHL fan his whole life, Cole played rep hockey in Canada from age 5 until 17 and grew up rooting for Martin St. Louis and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
