It's a pivotal encounter in the Western Conference Finals as a pair of teams battle it out in the province of Alberta. The Dallas Stars (2-1) are on the road again as they look to reclaim home ice advantage when they face the Edmonton Oilers (1-2) in Game 4 of their best-of-seven series on Wednesday night.
The opening game of the series did not see a goal in the first period, but there were four strikes, two apiece, in the rest of the regular-time, taking the game into overtime. After a scoreless first overtime, it would just take 32 seconds into the second overtime for the game to end. Connor McDavid found the back of the net to win the game.
In game two, the Stars bounced back and went onto win 3-1 to level things up heading on the road. Game three saw the Oilers grab a solid 2-0 first-period lead, only to lose 3-2. Will Dallas create a 3-1 distance in the series or can the Oilers knot the series up at two games apiece once again?
