Bizarre as it might sound, Game 4 made certain that three is the magic number. Coming away with a 4-1 victory Tuesday has seen the Edmonton Oilers win three in a row while having a 3-1 series advantage in the Western Conference finals.
Suffering what is now their third straight defeat means the Dallas Stars are a loss away from their season ending while being the first team to advance to three consecutive conference finals without reaching the Stanley Cup since the NHL moved to the current format back in 1994.
