• Goaltending: Stuart Skinner led with 26 wins; Calvin Pickard posted a 2.71 GAA
• Playoff Path: Defeated the Los Angeles Kings and Vegas Golden Knights

The Oilers have showcased a more balanced and resilient lineup this postseason, with contributions beyond their star duo of McDavid and Draisaitl. Improved defensive play and goaltending have been pivotal in their journey back to the Conference Final .

Dallas has been bolstered by the midseason acquisition of Mikko Rantanen, who has delivered back-to-back hat tricks and leads the playoffs in goals and points, significantly enhancing the Stars' offensive capabilities .

 

🔍 Series Insights

• Season Series: Dallas won 2 of the 3 regular-season matchups against Edmonton .
• Playoff History: This marks the ninth playoff meeting between the two franchises, with Dallas holding a 6–2 series advantage prior to this series .
• Coaching: Dallas's Peter DeBoer is making his third straight Conference Final appearance, while Edmonton's Kris Knoblauch has guided the Oilers to their third Conference Final in four seasons .

In a crazy 2nd round, the Leafs open up a 2 game lead on the Panthers and then give it back when they go to Florda. The Oilers are up 2-1 but an injury to Calvin Pickard has forced them to rely on Stuart Skinner who is struggling. Connor Hellebuyck has been up and down like a toilet seat. Which Hellebuyck will they get in game 4? The Canes look set to go up 3-1 over the Caps.  Listen Here:  Apple Podcasts   Direct MP3   iHeart Radio
