The Edmonton Oilers look to be in complete control, up 2-1 against the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference final.
The pregame narrative: The Oilers had a troublesome start, losing Game 1, 6-3. But everything has gone their way since. In the last two games, Edmonton has outscored Dallas 9-1 and now has the chance to take another step closer to its second straight Stanley Cup Final.
Check out my Stars vs. Oilers Game 4 prop picks on Zach Hyman and Mikael Granlund for May 27.
Stars vs. Oilers picks
Best Bet: Hyman to score a point (-118)
The Oilers have played six games at home this postseason. Hyman has been productive in those outings.
- 8 of 11 playoff points came at home
- 4-2 vs. this wager in Edmonton
- 3 points vs. Dallas in Game 3
Hyman continues to play on the first line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid, a tandem that has 38 combined points in the playoffs.
I’m not sure there is a better situation to be in for production opportunities.
And Hyman has made the most of it. He has 33 points in his last 39 playoff games.
On top of all that, the winger loves playing Dallas, as indicated by his recent stats in this matchup.
Key stat: Since the start of 2025, Hyman has seven points in five games vs. the Stars.
Game 4 prop prediction
Granlund over 1.5 shots (-106): I went with this pick for Game 3, and Granlund looked well on track after recording a shot early in the first period.
He went on to go without one for the rest of the game, but that isn’t stopping me from going right back to it.
Granlund is still 8-3 against this wager over his last 11 playoff games.
He still managed three shot attempts and is averaging 3.7 per game over that 11-game sample size.
Granlund is a first-liner who skates on the back end of the second power-play unit. He should see enough opportunities to cash the over on this modest total.
