Dallas Stars center Tyler Seguin (91) breaks away past Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jake Walman (96) for a goal during the first period in Game 1 of the NHL Western Conference finals on Wednesday, May 21,

The Stars didn't need to rely on Mikko Rantanen (or Jake Oettinger) to carry them to victory — and that's good news for Dallas.

McDavid logged two assists, including one on the power play, and four shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Stars in Game 1.

Instead of betting directly on McDavid to score or his shots on goal at a higher price, it’s worth looking at Nugent-Hopkins because of his -115, his postseason numbers and his role alongside McDavid on both the top line and power play.

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid was never going to become a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs. And now that the Maple Leafs' window of Stanley Cup Contention has slammed shut, it’s time for Leafs fans to come to terms with that truth.

Several key members of the Oilers spoke to the media before Edmonton take on Dallas in a rematch of last year’s Western Conference finals.

The Edmonton Oilers kick off the Western Conference Final tonight (May 21) against the Dallas Stars in a rematch from last season. Now is the time to play a strategic game.

On the eve of the Western Conference Final between the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers, goaltender Jake Oettinger delivered a blunt statement to Connor McDavid and company reminding them of last year's series.

Robertson is one of the most natural goal scorers in the league while Johnston has piled up the points whenever he’s played with Duchene. He averaged more than four points per 60 minutes of play with Duchene during the regular season. Remarkable production.
