Edmonton Oilers vs. Dallas Stars preview
The Oilers have seized control of the Western Conference Finals, riding back-to-back dominant performances to take a 2-1 series lead against a Dallas Stars team that suddenly finds itself searching for answers.
After dropping Game 1 despite controlling much of the play, Edmonton has responded with a clinical 3-0 road win in Game 2 followed by Sunday's emphatic 6-1 drubbing where Connor McDavid's two-goal performance highlighted just how dangerous the Oilers' attack can be when firing on all cylinders.
Dallas, now a concerning 2-5 on the road this postseason and outscored by 18 goals in those contests, faces the daunting task of solving Stuart Skinner, who turned away 33 shots in Game 3 and has seemingly found his playoff form at the perfect time.
The Stars' power play, which fueled their third-period comeback in Game 1 with three man-advantage goals, has gone silent since then – a troubling development for a team that's been blanked three times already in their seven playoff road games.
Edmonton's supporting cast has elevated alongside their stars, with Zach Hyman netting two goals in Game 3 and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins collecting three assists, demonstrating the depth that makes the Oilers such a formidable playoff opponent.
With the pivotal Game 4 set for Rogers Place, Dallas desperately needs Jake Oettinger to rediscover his elite form and generate more offense to avoid heading home in a 3-1 hole against a surging Oilers team that seems to be peaking at exactly the right moment.
