Edmonton Oilers vs. Dallas Stars preview

The Stars roll into Rogers Place looking to settle the score after Edmonton nearly gave them a heart attack in their last meetup, where the Oilers almost coughed up a four-goal lead in a wild 5-4 finish.

Dallas's defensive prowess has been on full display lately, with Jake Oettinger coming off a stellar shutout against Minnesota and the team boasting the fourth-best goals-against average in the NHL.

The Oilers are facing a serious uphill battle without their dynamic duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, but Ryan Nugent-Hopkins stepped up big time with a hat trick in their last outing against Seattle.

Both teams are riding some decent momentum - Dallas just wrapped up a solid homestand going 3-0-1, while Edmonton's grabbed wins in four of their last five despite missing their superstars.

The Stars' balanced attack and stingy defense (they're giving up just 2.57 goals per game) could be the difference-maker against an Oilers squad that's had to reinvent itself on the fly.

Keep an eye on Stuart Skinner between the pipes for Edmonton - he's been a bit shaky lately, giving up four goals on 32 shots in his last start.

This one's got all the makings of another classic Western Conference showdown, with both teams trying to strengthen their playoff positioning in their final regular-season matchup.

It's worth noting that seven of the last ten meetings between these clubs have been absolute barnburners, with plenty of goals to go around.
