The Edmonton Oilers look to take a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Dallas Stars with a Game 4 win in the Western Conference finals tonight at Rogers Place.
Edmonton forward Leon Draisaitl will battle goaltender Connor Hellebuyck in what’s expected to be a competitive Hart Trophy race following the postseason. But Draisaitl has unfinished business in these playoffs before the NHL Awards Show.
Let’s take a look at the best way to target Leon Draisaitl props in my NHL picks for Stars vs. Oilers on Tuesday, May 27.

Leon Draisaitl best bet
Leon Draisaitl anytime goal (+105 at BET99)
Leon Draisaitl’s dominant campaign presents a compelling case for the forward to win his second Hart Trophy. He led the NHL with 52 goals (in just 71 games) and posted an impressive 21.7 shooting percentage.
That success has carried into the postseason, as the Edmonton Oilers star is tied for fifth among all skaters in goals during these playoffs.
One of those goals came against Dallas Stars netminder Jake Oettinger in Game 1 of this series. Oettinger has struggled, allowing three or more goals in each of the first three games vs. Edmonton.
He is 1-2 over that stretch with a .842 save percentage and 4.02 goals-against average.

Evan Bouchard anytime goal
Oilers moneyline
One player tied with Draisaitl in postseason goals is Oilers teammate Evan Bouchard. The two spend a lot of time on the ice together, as Bouchard is a first-pairing defenseman and serves as the point man on Edmonton’s top power-play unit.
Bouchard is a scoring threat at both even strength and with the man advantage thanks to his shoot-first mentality. He ranks first in shots on goal per game among all remaining defensemen in the playoffs.
If both Bouchard and Draisaitl find the back of the net in Game 4, Edmonton’s chances of winning significantly increase. Further helping that cause is goaltender Stuart Skinner, who has allowed just one goal over the past two games while posting a stellar .983 save percentage in back-to-back wins.
