The Stars lost the 2024 series in six games and now trail 2-1 through three. Can the Stars stop the Oilers from running away with it?

The Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers clash in Game 3 of their best-of-7, Western Conference Final NHL Playoff series Sunday at Rogers Place.

Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers will get the chance to earn redemption after last year's Stanley Cup Final loss to the Florida Panthers.

The Dallas Stars enter the offseason after another Western Conference finals exit. Here are five offseason storylines.

Make it all the more shocking is that DeBoer went with a cold goalie in DeSmith, who had last played more than a month ago on April 26 to close out a 4-0 loss to Colorado in Game 4 of that first-round series. DeSmith yielded three goals on 20 shots, the latter two coming after Dallas had twice cut Edmonton’s lead to one.

The Dallas Stars pulled goalie Jake Oettinger after he allowed goals on each of the first two shots he faced in Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers at American Airlines Center on Thursday. He was replaced by Casey DeSmith at 7:09 of the first period.

A four-game losing streak that took his Dallas Stars out of the Western Conference finals in five games left a bitter taste in the mouth of owner Tom Gaglardi. But he could still manage a laugh Friday morning when he talked about Canadian media calling him on the phone.
