9:05 PM EST. Regulation only. In terms of situational spots, this one is as good as it gets for the Oilers or better yet to fade the Stars. Edmonton just happens to be the opponent tonight. Allow us to set this one up for you. For 77 games, the Dallas Stars have clawed, scratched and fought like an alley cat in its quest to make the playoffs. After beating Winnipeg on Monday and Calgary last night, both on the road, the Stars have pretty much locked up a playoff berth and one has to believe that there was some jubilation in that locker room last night. As per Sport Stats, the Stars chances of making the playoffs after last night’s win is 99.1%. It’s been a long three years since the Stars made the playoffs, thus a big sigh of relief or exhale if you will is absolutely on the table here.

Dallas will play its third game in four nights and tail end of back-to-backs on the road in the tough to navigate Canadian West Coast. The last two wins in Winnipeg and Calgary respectively were not only the two biggest wins of the year for Dallas but the two biggest since the team went to the playoffs in the 2015/16 season. Furthermore, Ben Bishop was hurt last night and missed the third period, thus, Anton Khudobin will fill in again after playing the third period last night. Dallas was under siege in the third period last night and hung on for dear life but that game took something out of them. So did the strain of 77 games of fighting for every point and their playoff lives. In terms of letdown spots with an extremely unfavorable scheduling spot, it truly does not get better than this.
