The Edmonton Oilers are now just one victory away from returning to the Stanley Cup Final after their 4-1 triumph against the Dallas Stars in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday. The Oilers' scoring was led by Leon Draisaitl, Corey Perry, Kasperi Kapanen, and Adam Henrique, who found the back of the net for the team.

Draisaitl set the tone by scoring on a power play in the first period, giving the Oilers a 1-0 lead going into the first intermission. The Stars equalized when left wing Jason Robertson netted a goal 6:57 into the second period. However, Perry quickly responded with a crucial tip-in goal, which ultimately turned out to be the game-winner, following an exceptional effort and pass from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Notably, Nugent-Hopkins has been a standout performer in the series, accumulating eight points over four games.

In the closing minutes of the third period, Kapanen and Henrique both scored empty-net goals, solidifying the Oilers' position. Connor McDavid contributed with two assists during the match, underscoring his vital role in the team's success. This victory has sparked excitement among fans as the Oilers aim to secure a Stanley Cup championship for a Canadian team for the first time since 1993. Attention now turns to Game 5, scheduled for Thursday at 8 p.m. ET in Dallas, where a win would propel the Oilers to the Cup Final for the second consecutive year. Should they advance, they are likely to face the Florida Panthers, who currently lead the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Finals, 3-1, with an opportunity to clinch the conference title in their upcoming matchup on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
