Dallas trails 2-1 in the series, scoring just five goals. They're averaging 2.56 goals in the playoffs, while the defense is fifth in save percentage (.907). During the regular season, the defense was sixth in goals given up (2.71 per game) and fourth in save percentage (.911). Dallas is on a 17-13-1 run UNDER the total, including 8-3 UNDER on the road. After falling behind 1-0 in the series, Edmonton has bounced back with wins of 3-0 and 6-1. The Oilers are on a 14-9-1 run UNDER the total, and with so much at stake, I'm looking for a fierce defensive duel. Stuart Skinner is in the zone, and as Dallas coach Pete DeBoer said, Jake Oettinger is the last person he's worried about rising to the occasion. Play Dallas/Edmonton UNDER the total.
