The Edmonton Oilers stand just one victory away from a return to the Stanley Cup Final following their 4-1 triumph over the Dallas Stars in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday evening. The Oilers showcased a strong offensive performance, with goals coming from Leon Draisaitl, Corey Perry, Kasperi Kapanen, and Adam Henrique.

Draisaitl was quick to make an impact, scoring on a power play in the first period, giving Edmonton a 1-0 lead as they headed into the intermission. The Stars managed to equalize early in the second period when left wing Jason Robertson found the net just 6:57 in. However, Perry responded shortly thereafter, scoring the game-winning goal following a deft tip-in that was set up by a brilliant pass from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who has been instrumental throughout the series, tallying eight points over four games.

As the third period progressed, Kapanen and Henrique added empty-net goals in the final minutes, solidifying the Oilers' win. Connor McDavid contributed with a pair of assists, demonstrating his continued playmaking prowess. With this significant victory, the Oilers are now aiming to achieve what no Canadian team has done since 1993: capture the Stanley Cup. The enthusiasm among their fans is palpable as they look forward to Game 5, scheduled for Thursday at 8 p.m. ET in Dallas. A win would propel the Oilers back to 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 and have an opportunity to clinch the title with a win on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
