SLATE PREVIEW
Despite losing three straight contests, Dallas (vs. Edmonton) is the Moneyline favorite for Game 5 on Thursday. The Over/Under for the matchup is 5.5 goals.
CAPTAIN
Connor McDavid, EDM at DAL ($16,5000): McDavid has accounted for two goals and five assists during a four-game point streak. He has three multipoint efforts, two power-play helpers, 13 shots and two blocks versus the Stars over that stretch.
Leon Draisaitl, EDM at DAL ($15,600): Draisaitl has generated two goals and six helpers across his five-game point spree. He has two multipoint performances, three power-play assists, nine shots and four blocks against Dallas during that span.
FLEX/VALUE PLAYS
Stuart Skinner, EDM at DAL ($9,600): Skinner has allowed only two goals on 88 shots during his three-game winning streak. He has posted a 7-3 record, one shutout, a 1.85 GAA and a .929 save percentage in 10 career postseason outings versus Dallas.
Evan Bouchard, EDM at DAL ($8,600): Bouchard's three-game point streak ended in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Stars, but he posted two shots and one block in the match. He has collected two goals, five points, six shots, one power-play helper and six blocks in four outings versus the Stars this round.
Jason Robertson, DAL vs. EDM ($8,200): Robertson has netted two goals on nine shots in his last two outings. He has scored the only marker for the Stars in consecutive losses versus the Oilers, including a power-play tally in Game 4 on Tuesday. Robertson has three points through four appearances this round.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, EDM at DAL ($8,000): Nugent-Hopkins has produced four straight multipoint showings against Dallas this round, collecting two goals, seven assists (two on the power play) and 13 shots. He makes for a solid stack play with McDavid for Thursday's slate.
Corey Perry, EDM at DAL ($5,400): Perry notched one goal and one assist in Tuesday's victory, ending a five-game run without a point. He scored with the man advantage and produced three shots on target. Perry has plenty of bang for the buck upside while being a stack option with McDavid and/or Nugent-Hopkins.
