The storylines headed into Game 4 surround the Dallas Stars' inability to score first, the Edmonton Oilers' dominance at home and goaltender Stuart Skinner's strong play.
The sportsbook odds are leaning toward the Oilers (who lead the series 2-1) defending home turf, but the margins are thin.
A couple of potential game-breakers are also game-time decisions to suit up, so watch out for injury updates on Roope Hintz to help fuel the Stars top line and Mattias Ekholm to offer some additional defensive depth for the Oilers.

Best bets
The Stars arguably outplayed the Oilers in Game 3 (NaturalStatTrick.com has the scoring chances at 33-23 in favor of the Stars and 30-18 at 5-on-5, despite losing 6-1). They'll need to steal a game in Edmonton eventually to win this series.
It feels like another chance for Mikko Rantanen to add to his magical playoff run with an early goal, before the Stars play some prevent defense to steal the W. Some of the lesser-used game props stand out for this script, including First period goal in the first five minutes (+170) and Highest-scoring period: first period (+425).
Some of the player props worth highlighting -- regardless of the game outcome -- include: Evan Bouchard: Over 0.5 goals (+340) (he's scored five of his six this postseason at home), Jason Robertson: Over 0.5 points (+115) (if Hintz doesn't play, he's on the top line), and Stuart Skinner: Over 23.5 saves (-105) (the Stars have to get pucks on net and had 34 shots in Game 3).
If you wanted to combine them, the three of those would give you a +1458 same-game parlay, by the way.
