Oilers, Stars Rematch Set for West Final

The 2025 NHL Conference Finals are set, with the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers meeting in the Western Conference Final for the second year in a row after Dallas eliminated the Winnipeg Jets in overtime and Edmonton ousted the Vegas Golden Knights. Game 1 will take place in Dallas on May 21. Edmonton is led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, while Dallas features key players such as Thomas Harley. In the Eastern Conference, the Carolina Hurricanes await the winner of Game 7 between the Florida Panthers and Toronto Maple Leafs, with the series set to start May 20 in Raleigh if Florida advances. Both conference finals are rematches from last season, and the Oilers are seeking redemption after losing to the Panthers in last year's Stanley Cup Final. The upcoming matchups set the stage for high-stakes hockey as teams compete for a spot in the Stanley Cup Final.
