Oilers vs Stars predictions
As the Edmonton Oilers look to take a commanding 2-0 series lead, all eyes will be on their superstar Connor McDavid. Despite being listed as day-to-day with an injury, I expect McDavid to put on a show and pot at least a goal and an assist. His dominance on the ice is unmatched, and even at less than 100%, he's still a force to be reckoned with. Meanwhile, Zach Hyman's speed and aggression will be essential in getting under the skin of the Stars' defense. I predict Hyman to snag an assist and create plenty of scoring opportunities for his teammates.
On the other side, the Dallas Stars will be relying heavily on Jason Robertson to spark their offense. With 51 assists under his belt, Robertson has proven himself to be a master playmaker, and I expect him to set up at least two goals for his teammates. Unfortunately, the absence of Wyatt Johnston will be felt, as his 32 goals this season have been invaluable to the Stars' attack. In his place, I think Roope Hintz will need to step up and provide some much-needed firepower. If Hintz can find the back of the net, it could be a long night for the Oilers' defense.
Given the Oilers' potent offense and the Stars' struggles on the injury front, I think Edmonton will come out on top in Game 2. The Stars will push hard to even the series, but McDavid and Hyman will be too much for them to handle. Look for the Oilers to take a 2-0 series lead with a 5-3 victory. The Stars will make it interesting, but ultimately, the Oilers' firepower will prove too much to overcome.
