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.

Forwards Jason Robertson (four goals, two assists) and Roope Hintz (one goal, five assists) led the Stars against the Oilers with six points each, including a hat trick by Robertson in a 4-3 win in Edmonton on March 26. Jake Oettinger was 2-1-0 with a 3.04 GAA and a .912 save percentage.

The 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs are here. The Winnipeg Jets are the NHL's top overall seed, having finished the regular season with the most points in the standings, and the Washington Capitals earned the No. 1 seed in the East. Both teams were eliminated in the second round.
