The Edmonton Oilers will defeat the Dallas Stars in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final.
NHL 25 had a very interesting simulation to Wednesday’s night game as both squads combined for 10 power plays. The Oilers had six opportunities on the man advantage, while the Stars had four.
In the end, it was the Canadian squad that made the most of their opportunities with a resounding 5-1 win.
Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Adam Henrique, Evan Bouchard, and Jake Walman scored for the Oilers. Mikko Rantanen scored the lone goal for Dallas. Stuart Skinner stopped 37 of 38 shots and Jake Oettinger made 42 saves.
