Here are three player prop bets for Dallas vs. Edmonton in Game 3 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs Western Conference Final on Sunday

It was the third shutout for Stuart Skinner and the Oilers in their last four games, as the veteran netminder responded after struggling in Game 1. The Oilers are now a -164 favorite to win the best-of-seven series, and they’re sitting at -155 odds to take Game 3 at home Sunday afternoon.

On Saturday, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch pushed back on suggestions that Connor McDavid receives special treatment from NHL officials, after Stars head coach Pete DeBoer questioned the decision not to eject Nurse for slashing Hintz in Game 2.

After Wednesday’s end-of-game fireworks, the Stars look to keep the pressure up in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.

In the world of heavy knee and shin pads, a slash normally doesn’t do enough damage to derail an NHL player; but the slash delivered by Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse in the third period to the lower left leg of Stars center Roope Hintz appeared to do the job of a mob hit. “We didn’t like it,” Stars center Jamie Benn said.

Things are getting ugly in Game 2 between the Dallas Stars and the Edmonton Oilers, and not just on the scoreboard. With the Stars trailing the Oilers 3-0 in the third period on Friday, Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse added both insult and injury with a fairly blatant slashing penalty against Stars’ forward Roope Hintz.
