Edmonton Oilers Take 2-1 Western Final Lead Over Dallas Stars

The Edmonton Oilers have taken control of their Western Conference Final series against the Dallas Stars, leading 2-1 and favored to win Game 4 with -160 odds. After losing Game 1, the Oilers have dominated Dallas in Games 2 and 3, outscoring them 9-1, including a 6-1 victory highlighted by Connor McDavid's two goals and stellar goaltending from Stuart Skinner. Edmonton's improved discipline and penalty kill, along with solid defensive play, have limited Dallas's power-play opportunities and scoring chances, contributing to their recent success. Despite Dallas's strong regular season, fatigue and offensive struggles have hampered their playoff performance, with key players like Roope Hintz missing. The Oilers' combination of elite scoring, aggressive forechecking, and resilient goaltending has given them momentum and a chance to close out the series at home. Game 4 at Rogers Place represents a crucial opportunity for Edmonton to push Dallas to the brink of elimination.
