The Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers are set to meet in the Western Conference Final for the second consecutive year, matching up two of the fastest teams in the NHL and featuring three of the League’s biggest superstars in Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Mikko Rantanen.

The Dallas Stars have been close to the NHL's mountaintop over the past two seasons. The Western Conference Final has previously been as far as this current group has gotten, but there's plenty of reason for optimism as Dallas attempts to clinch its first Stanley Cup Final berth since 2020.

The 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs field is down to the final four. The Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers face off in a rematch of the 2023 Eastern Conference finals, while the Western Conference finals are a return bout from 2024 between the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers.
