The Edmonton Oilers are poised to return to the Stanley Cup Final, needing just one more victory after a decisive 4-1 win against the Dallas Stars in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. The Oilers showcased a strong offensive performance, with Leon Draisaitl, Corey Perry, Kasperi Kapanen, and Adam Henrique contributing to the team's goal tally.

Draisaitl initiated the scoring for Edmonton during the first period, converting on the power play to give the Oilers a 1-0 advantage heading into the intermission. However, the Stars responded in the second period when left winger Jason Robertson equalized at 6:57. Shortly after, Perry found the back of the net with a crucial tip-in, assisted by a remarkable play from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who has been exceptional in this series, accumulating eight points over four games.

As the match progressed into the final minutes of the third period, Kapanen and Henrique sealed the victory with empty-net goals, reinforcing the Oilers' commanding performance. Connor McDavid also played a pivotal role, providing two assists in the game. With this triumph, the Oilers are on the brink of achieving a significant milestone, aiming for the first Stanley Cup victory by a Canadian team since 1993. The excitement among the fans is palpable as Game 5 approaches, scheduled for Thursday at 8 p.m. ET in Dallas. A win in that contest would see the Oilers secure a spot in the Cup Final for the second consecutive year, where they are likely to face the Florida Panthers, who currently lead the Carolina Hurricanes three-games-to-one in the Eastern Conference Finals.
