Overview

• The Edmonton Oilers secured a 4-1 win in Game 4 to take a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference Final, leaving them one victory shy of reaching the Stanley Cup Final.
• Leon Draisaitl and Corey Perry each tallied a power-play goal and an assist, and empty-net strikes by Kasperi Kapanen and Adam Henrique provided insurance.
• Goalie Stuart Skinner stopped 28 shots and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins extended his point streak to four games, matching a conference-final first since Wayne Gretzky.
• The Dallas Stars have managed only two goals across their last three losses and must revive their offense in Game 5 to avoid elimination.
• Game 5 is set for Thursday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, and the Oilers are expected to be without forward Zach Hyman after he underwent season-ending arm surgery.
