The Edmonton Oilers have won consecutive games to take a 2-1 series lead over the Dallas Stars ahead of Game 4 at Rogers Place on Tuesday, May 26.
I expect Dallas to show up in a big way in an effort to avoid heading south in a 3-1 series hole, and my top Stars vs. Oilers props and NHL picks are headlined by stars Mikko Rantanen and Jason Robertson.

Stars vs Oilers player props for May 27
Mikko Rantanen Over 2.5 shots on goal (-115 at BET99)
It’s been a bit of a quiet start to the series for Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen. He’s picked up a pair of assists and turned his 13 shot attempts into just three shots on goal through the first three games.
Rantanen paces Dallas forwards in ice time (19:39 per night) and recorded 6.11 shots and 13.23 attempts per 60 minutes through the first two rounds of the postseason, so I’m anticipating an uptick in volume after posting respective 8.7 and 16.5 marks against the Edmonton Oilers to start the Western Conference Final.
Jason Robertson Over 1.5 shots on goal (-125 at BET99)
Stars winger Jason Robertson was a standout in Game 3 with the lone goal and five shots on 11 attempts. After missing time to start the postseason, he’s also now picked up two or more shots in five of his past eight contests.
Robertson regularly traded with a 3.5 shots total during the 2023-24 season, and while his shots and attempts per 60 minutes were down this year, he’s being discounted too much at this stage of the game.
Plus, he’s projected to skate on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit and has paced Dallas in attempts per 60 (17.47) since returning to the lineup during the playoffs.
Stuart Skinner Over 23.5 saves (-115 at BET99)
I’m anticipating a push-back game from the Stars, which includes putting plenty of pucks on net again in Game 4. Stuart Skinner turned away 33 of 34 shots in Game 3, and he’s sporting a high-end .955 save percentage with 7.35 goals saved above expected across his past five starts.
Skinner will be hard pressed to maintain that level of play, but there’s plenty of wiggle room for statistical correction and this Over 23.5 saves to still cash Tuesday.
