    Analysis

    The Stars are looking to rebound after an overtime loss that featured several easily correctable mistakes. Throughout the season, they have consistently bounced back after defeats (22-7-3) and excelled with two days of rest (11-3-1). Wyatt Johnston has stepped up in Roope Hintz's absence, recording 21 points (12 goals, 9 assists) in the final 20 regular-season games and extending his playoff point streak to four games. These teams are evenly matched, evidenced by the home squad's impressive 8-2 record over the past 10 meetings.

    Analysis

    I took the Wild in Game 4 at home and while they delivered with a 3-2 OT win, I knew I was going to back Dallas here. I think the Stars are the better team and expect them to win the series. Dallas is 27-12-4 at home this season and they have done very well in this spot, going 22-7-3 following a loss. This series has 7 games written all over it, but I like the Stars to take the pivotal Game 5 at home.

    Picked: Apr 27 @ 1:03pm

    Analysis

    This has been a type of game the Oilers have won in the past few postseasons with their backs to the wall. I am wondering if Connor McDavid is hurting because he hasn't quite looked his dominant self yet, and Edmonton has a goaltending problem. But I'll trust the veteran team to pull out perhaps the last home game of the season and force Game 6. Few Ducks players have been in this spot before as playoff newbies.
