Overview

  • Leon Draisaitl and Corey Perry each collected a power-play goal and an assist in Edmonton’s 4-1 Game 4 win to seize control of the Western Conference Final.
  • Stuart Skinner made 28 saves as the Oilers have outscored the Stars 13-2 across their last three games.
  • Edmonton boasts a 17-1 all-time record when leading a series 3-1, while Dallas has never overcome that deficit in 16 prior attempts.
  • The Stars must win Thursday’s Game 5 at American Airlines Center after scoring just two goals and failing to net a first-period road goal during their three-game skid.
  • Forward Zach Hyman is expected to miss the remainder of the playoffs after undergoing surgery for an upper-body injury sustained in Game 4.
