SportsLine's hockey model has simulated Edmonton vs. Dallas in the 2025 Stanley Cup playoff Western Conference Final on Tuesday 10,000 times

The Edmonton Oilers are known as an offensive buzzsaw, but it’s their stinginess that is making the difference against the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference finals. The Oilers won Game 3 in Edmonton on Sunday to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.

The Oilers can take another step in that direction by winning Game 4 of the Western Conference Final against the Dallas Stars. They already hold a 2-1 series lead, so a win on their home ice on Tuesday night would give them a commanding 3-1 lead before the series heads back to Dallas.
