Now, here are three player props for Stars vs. Oilers on Friday:

Connor McDavid under 1.5 points (-115)

This isn't a knock at No. 97. The guy still leads the NHL playoffs with 16 assists in 12 games and is coming off of a two-point outing in Game 1. That being said, he is averaging 1.4 points in seven postseason games on the road and is about to play in his third straight road game. He could still add to his playoff point total, but the price for him to score 1-plus points in Game 2 is too steep at sportsbooks across the board. McDavid to tally under 1.5 points is listed at -115 at BetMGM Sportsbook, where new users can get the latest BetMGM promo code.

Leon Draisaitl over 3.5 shots on goal (+115)

The German forward is averaging just over three shots on goal through the playoffs, but he has tallied four or more SOG in three of his last five games, all of which have been on the road. Draisaitl found the back of the net in Game 1, so he should be eager to pepper Jake Oettinger with shots in Game 2 and help his team even out the series. This player prop is listed at +115 at BetMGM.

Tyler Seguin 1+ points (+108)

The Stars center had a slow start to his 11th playoff campaign and had been kept off the scoresheet for give straight games before tallying an assist in Game 7 against the Winnipeg Jets. Seguin is now coming off of a three-point outing (two goals, one assist) in Game 1 against Edmonton, which gives him four points total over his last two outings. Seguin to have another game where he registers one or more points is priced at +108 at FanDuel Sportsbook, where new users can get $200 in bonus bets on an initial $5 bet when they use the latest FanDuel promo code.
