The Edmonton Oilers took a 2-1 series advantage over the Dallas Stars on Sunday afternoon with a 6-1 beatdown at Rogers Place.

The Edmonton Oilers were close to winning the Stanley Cup last year. This team is determined to return to the Final this year and finish their story. That determination is exemplified in their play so far in the Western Conference Final.

Edmonton, Alberta – Zach Hyman (Michigan) had two goals and an assist, Connor McDavid also had a two-goal outing and the Edmonton Oilers took a 2-1 lead in their Western Conference final series with a 6-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Sunday.

The Edmonton Oilers will win Game 3 of the Western Conference Final this afternoon against the Dallas Stars per NHL 25. The reigning Stanley Cup Final runner-ups defeated the Stars 1-0 on the simulation.

Oilers veteran forward Corey Perry is officially on the brink of NHL history ahead of Game 3 against the Stars on Sunday.

It was the third shutout for Stuart Skinner and the Oilers in their last four games, as the veteran netminder responded after struggling in Game 1. The Oilers are now a -164 favorite to win the best-of-seven series, and they’re sitting at -155 odds to take Game 3 at home Sunday afternoon.

Beau Akey is a known prospect to Oilers fans. He missed most of last season due to injury, and didn’t completely establish himself as a top-flight offensive defender in 2024-25. He’s a speedy player, a right-handed defender, has skill and should see major minutes in the AHL with the Bakersfield Condors next season.

Who needs sleep? Edmonton Oilers fan Tristan Kidd said he will find a way to make up for it later, but he didn’t want to miss being part of the atmosphere around Rogers Place on Sunday afternoon.
