Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on February 17. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Dallas shows great hockey this season. The Stars delight fans with their game, steadily gaining points and being at the top of the tables. Now they lead the Central Division and are second in the overall West table with 74 points. That's a great result, so there's no doubt that the Stars will make some noise in the playoffs. We also note that their affairs have been going well recently - seven wins in eight previous meetings. The day before, Dallas beat Nashville 9:2.

Edmonton has had a bad start to the campaign. It was simply a failure, but the main thing is that the team was able to get out of this state. So, ahead of the meeting, the Oilers are in third place in the Pacific Division standings and sixth in the West with 63 points. McDavid's gang has 18 wins in 21 previous games. Another thing is that Edmonton suffered all three losses after the NHL All-Star break and, in the last meeting, with a score of 3:6, lost to St. Louis.

It's pretty problematic to favor anyone in this meeting. Dallas is having a great season and is very good in their walls - in nine of the past ten games at home, points scored. Edmonton made victories in 18 of the past 21 games. It's better to note that the Oilers have been on the power play, and the Stars have scored an average of 6.5 goals this season.
