This is an 8* MID-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Dallas Stars.

Sometimes we feel it's necessary to completely dissect a game, looking at situational, motivational and trend based factors, and other times we believe that a more common sense approach is the best way to handicap a contest. And that's the case here. Edmonton is playing with significant injuries as Connor McDavid, Nail Yakupov, Benoit Pouliot and Rob Klinkhammer are all still out. Not surprisingly the Oilers are averaging just 1.3 goals over their last six games and the power play is 0 for 8 over the last two. Conversely, the Stars are 8-1-1 their last ten and 11-2-1 away from home this year, off to the franchises best start ever. Dallas is also 16-3-1 vs. the Oilers since 2010 and have won six of the last seven matchups in Edmonton. This one is a no-brainer and there's no question that the price is right, in our professional opinion this is indeed the very definition of "great line value," play on the STARS.
