A Quick Look at the NHL’s Western Conference Final Between the Oilers and Stars

  • The Dallas Stars defeated the Edmonton Oilers 6-3 in Game 1 of the 2025 NHL Western Conference final at American Airlines Center on Wednesday night.
  • This rematch comes after the Oilers defeated the Stars in six games last year, with Dallas entering this series strengthened by the addition of Mikko Rantanen following the trade deadline.
  • Within the first six minutes of the third period, Miro Heiskanen, Mikael Granlund, and Matt Duchene each found the net on the power play, with Duchene ending his scoring drought to help Dallas take the lead.
  • Rantanen tops the playoffs for Dallas with nine goals and 19 points, while Edmonton’s leading scorers, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, have together tallied eight goals early in the series.
  • Dallas gained a 1-0 series lead by capitalizing on home-ice advantage and power-play success, suggesting a strong start in their bid to reverse last year’s outcome.
