The Edmonton Oilers are poised to 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 match showcased key contributions from several players, with Leon Draisaitl, Corey Perry, Kasperi Kapanen, and Adam Henrique finding the back of the net for Edmonton.

Draisaitl set the tone early by scoring on a power play in the first period, giving the Oilers a 1-0 lead at the intermission. The Dallas Stars' left winger, Jason Robertson, responded by equalizing the game at one goal apiece with a goal 6:57 into the second period. However, Perry quickly restored Edmonton's advantage with a pivotal tip-in, assisted by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who has been particularly impactful during this series, accumulating eight points in four games.

As the game progressed into the final minutes of the third period, Kapanen and Henrique both scored empty-net goals, solidifying the Oilers' victory. Connor McDavid also played a crucial role, contributing two assists in the contest. With this crucial win, the Oilers are inching closer to achieving the remarkable feat of winning a championship for a Canadian team, which has not occurred since 1993. The next challenge awaits, as Game 5 is scheduled for Thursday at 8 p.m. ET in Dallas, where a win would secure Edmonton's second consecutive trip to the Cup Final. 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 their conference title with a win on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
