Oilers Face Stars in Game 1 of Western Conference Final
Edmonton, Dallas Battle for Series Advantage
Wild Card Oilers Take on Regular Season Powerhouse Stars
The Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars are set to face off in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final on Thursday night. The Oilers, who entered the playoffs as a wild card team, have defied expectations by advancing to the conference finals for the first time since 2006.
The Stars, on the other hand, finished the regular season with the best record in the Western Conference. They have cruised through the first two rounds of the playoffs, sweeping the Nashville Predators and Calgary Flames.
The Stars are favored to win Game 1 at home, but the Oilers have shown that they can compete with any team in the league. This is a matchup between two evenly matched teams, and Game 1 is sure to be a close one.
Stars Have Home-Ice Advantage but Oilers Are Battle-Tested
The Stars will have the home-ice advantage in Game 1, but the Oilers have proven that they can win on the road. They won Game 7 of their first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings in overtime, and they won Game 6 of their second-round series against the Calgary Flames on the road.
The Oilers are a battle-tested team, and they are not afraid to face any opponent. They will be looking to steal Game 1 in Dallas and take a 1-0 lead in the series.
