The Edmonton Oilers are now one victory away from a return to the Stanley Cup Final after defeating the Dallas Stars 4-1 in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday evening. The Oilers showcased a strong performance, with Leon Draisaitl, Corey Perry, Kasperi Kapanen, and Adam Henrique all finding the net for the team.

Draisaitl initiated the scoring with a goal on the power play during the first period, giving the Oilers a 1-0 lead as they headed into the first intermission. The Stars' Jason Robertson equalized early in the second period, scoring at 6:57 to level the game at one. However, Perry responded swiftly, scoring with a tip-in that also served as the game-winner, an effort set up by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who has shown remarkable form in this series with a total of eight points in four games. Kapanen and Henrique later sealed the game with empty-net goals in the closing minutes of the third period, contributing to the Oilers' commanding victory.

Connor McDavid also had a notable contribution with a pair of assists in this match. With this win, the Oilers are poised to make history by aiming to secure the first Stanley Cup for a Canadian team since 1993. The victory has certainly elevated the spirits of the fans who remain optimistic about the team's prospects. Game 5 is scheduled for Thursday at 8 p.m. ET in Dallas, where a win for the Oilers would send them to the Cup Final for the second consecutive year. The likely opponent for the title could be the Florida Panthers, who currently lead the Carolina Hurricanes three games to one in the Eastern Conference Finals and will have the opportunity to clinch the conference title with a win on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
