The Edmonton Oilers are one win away from returning to the Stanley Cup Final following their 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday evening. Leon Draisaitl, Corey Perry, Kasperi Kapanen, and Adam Henrique each contributed goals for Edmonton during the contest.

Draisaitl set the tone early, scoring on the power play in the first period to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead as the teams headed into the intermission. Jason Robertson of the Stars evened the score at one with a goal at 6:57 of the second period. However, Perry answered swiftly, netting what would be the game-winning goal shortly thereafter, courtesy of a remarkable assist from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who has been particularly impactful this series, boasting eight points in four games. In the closing moments of the third period, Kapanen and Henrique both found the net with empty-net goals, sealing the win for the Oilers. Additionally, Connor McDavid provided two assists in the matchup.

This victory places the Oilers on the brink of achieving a significant milestone, as they aim to secure the first championship for a Canadian team since 1993. Fans have expressed their excitement following the win. Game 5 is scheduled for Thursday at 8 p.m. ET in Dallas. A victory for Edmonton in this upcoming contest would grant them a return to the Cup Final for the second consecutive year, where they are expected to potentially face the Florida Panthers, who currently lead the Carolina Hurricanes three games to one in the Eastern Conference Finals, with a chance to clinch the title on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
