Oilers vs Stars Same Game Parlay Picks May 21: Bet Dallas Over 3.5 Goals

Three of the top four scorers in the playoffs will be in action when the Dallas Stars host the Edmonton Oilers for Game 1 of the Western Conference finals on Wednesday night.

Dallas is the favorite in the NHL game odds and is led by Mikko Rantanen (nine goals, 19 points playoffs). The Stars are +285 in the NHL futures bets to win eight more games and a Stanley Cup.

Superstars like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are probably your safest and best NHL props today for Edmonton. But the Oilers have several players who can help you cash a parlay bet.

• Leg 1: Stars ML (-130)

The Dallas Stars have the defense and goaltending to limit Edmonton in the series and you can expect a strong effort in Game 1. Goalie Jake Oettinger has been very sharp since early in the first series and Miro Heiskanen’s return has made the Stars’ defense deeper. The Oilers will make them work, but our NHL prediction is that the home fans leave happy.

Bet on Stars ML (-130)

• Leg 2: Stars Over 3.5 Goals (+115)

Dallas is not an offensive juggernaut, but the Stars can get it going if they are able to improve on their playoff average of 24.8 shots per game.  The Edmonton Oilers have improved its defense and could get veteran defenseman Mattias Ekholm back from injury as soon as Wednesday. Check late NHL news for Ekholm’s status. But we think Dallas can get to goalie Stuart Skinner, the likely starter.

Bet on Stars Over 3.5 Goals (+115)

• Leg 3: Mikael Granlund 1+ Point (+120)

Mikael Granlund has seven points in the playoffs (four goals, three assists) and gets plenty of opportunities with top offensive linemates. The veteran forward already tied his playoff high in points (2013-14 with Minnesota) and has value odds to get in the scorebook. Take him for your NHL parlay picks.

• Leg 4: Connor McDavid Anytime Goal (+160)

The Oilers likely won’t be shut out, so why not take some decent odds on a star to finish out your winning NHL parlay ticket. Connor McDavid leads the team with 43 shots in the playoffs despite only recording three goals. The three-time Hart Trophy winner wants to get back to the finals where Edmonton lost to Florida in seven games in 2024, and you can expect him to keep getting opportunities.
