As the NHL Western Conference Finals roll into a decisive fourth encounter, all eyes are on Edmonton as the Oilers aim to tighten their grip on the series against a faltering Dallas Stars side. Having been outclassed in back-to-back games, Dallas now face the daunting task of clawing their way back into contention on enemy ice. The Oilers, meanwhile, have momentum, confidence, and a lethal offensive arsenal at their disposal.
Game 3 was a masterclass from Edmonton, who put six past the Stars and limited their offensive impact despite Dallas recording 34 shots on goal. Stuart Skinner stood tall in the crease, outshining Jake Oettinger once again, while Connor McDavid reminded everyone of his clutch factor. For the Stars, injuries and out-of-form veterans are mounting concerns. Game 4 represents a potential series-breaking moment—either Dallas digs deep and responds, or the Oilers edge closer to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Dallas Stars
The Dallas Stars are running out of time and answers. Down 2-1 in the series, their offensive struggles have reached a critical point. The lack of production from key forwards is alarming—Robertson, Rantanen, Duchene, Seguin, Johnston, and Benn have combined for minimal output when it matters most. Despite having playoff pedigree and experience in the locker room, the absence of finishing touch has cost them dearly. Jake Oettinger, normally a postseason stalwart, has also failed to match the standard set by Skinner at the other end. While there’s still hope Roope Hintz might return and provide a much-needed spark, the Stars must urgently find cohesion, discipline, and firepower if they are to avoid going 3-1 down.
Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers are flying high with a 10-2 record in their last 12 games and have discovered the perfect blend of star power and depth scoring. Connor McDavid finally broke through with a pair of goals in Game 3, while Zach Hyman and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins continue to thrive. Evan Bouchard leads all defencemen in postseason points, and with 18 different players contributing goals, the Oilers are proving themselves a complete team. Skinner’s calm and commanding presence in net has been a game-changer, particularly under siege from Dallas’ 20-shot second period last time out. Should Edmonton replicate their recent performances, they’ll be one step closer to booking their Stanley Cup Finals ticket.

Edmonton are executing at a higher level in every department—goaltending, offence, and special teams. The Stars’ slump, combined with the Oilers’ killer instinct, makes the home side clear favourites heading into Game 4.

Dallas Stars 2 – 4 Edmonton Oilers
Expect Dallas to throw everything forward, but the Oilers’ efficient counter-attacks and red-hot powerplay could prove decisive. A slightly closer scoreline is likely than Game 3, but Edmonton should still come out on top.
