The Edmonton Oilers find themselves one victory away from returning to the Stanley Cup Final after securing a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday evening. The Oilers showcased a strong performance, with goals from Leon Draisaitl, Corey Perry, Kasperi Kapanen, and Adam Henrique propelling them closer to a championship appearance.

Draisaitl opened the scoring for the Oilers during the first period with a power-play goal, providing his team a 1-0 lead as they headed into intermission. The Stars made a valiant effort to level the contest when left wing Jason Robertson found the back of the net 6:57 into the second period. Nevertheless, Corey Perry quickly responded with a critical tip-in goal, assisted by the outstanding play of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who has been a prominent contributor throughout the series, amassing eight points in four games.

Kapanen and Henrique sealed the victory with a pair of empty-net goals in the final minutes of the third period, solidifying the Oilers' advantage. Additionally, Connor McDavid provided two assists, further highlighting his impact in the match. As the excitement builds among fans, the Oilers aim to achieve a historic milestone, seeking to become the first Canadian team to capture the Stanley Cup since 1993. Game 5 is set to take place on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET in Dallas, and a victory would propel the Oilers into the Cup Final for the second consecutive year, where they are likely to face the Florida Panthers, who currently hold a 3-1 series lead over the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Finals.
