Stars vs. Oilers highlights: Edmonton takes 3-1 lead in West finals
USA TODAY and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article. Pricing and availability subject to change. The Edmonton Oilers are one win away from a return trip to the Stanley Cup Final. The Oilers defeated the Dallas Stars, 4-1, on Tuesday night to take a 3-1 series lead in the Western Conference finals. Advertisement Dallas had a strong first period, outshooting the Oilers 16-10, but the Stars couldn't get a shot past Edmonton goaltender Stuart Skinner and found themselves down 1-0 thanks to a Leon Draisaitl power-play goal. From there, the Oilers started to put the clamps on. The second period was much more even, with the Oilers putting up 10 shots to the Stars' nine. Dallas tied the game at 6:57 of the second on a Jason Robertson power-play goal but the Oilers got another power-play goal a little over two minutes later to take the lead for good. That 2-1 lead held up because Edmonton put on a defensive masterclass in the third period. Advertisement The Oilers held the Stars to just four shots while putting up 13 themselves in the final frame. Edmonton couldn't beat Jake Oettinger (30 saves) again, but it finally sealed the game with two empty-net tallies. Skinner stopped 28 of the 29 shots he faced. Game 5 is Thursday night in Dallas (8 p.m. ET, ESPN). 'They're going to be desperate, we know that, but we got to obviously match that," Draisaitl told ESPN, looking ahead to Game 5. Stars vs. Oilers highlights Final: Oilers 4, Stars 1 Another empty-net goal for the Oilers at 19:10, this one from long range from Adam Henrique. Score update: Oilers 3, Stars 1 That should do it. Advertisement Kasperi Kapanen's empty-net goal gives the Oilers a two-goal lead with just over two minutes to go. Score update: Oilers 2, Stars 1 Some redemption for Corey Perry. His penalty led to Dallas' equalizing goal, but he gives the Oilers the lead again with yet another power-play strike at 9:20. Score update: Stars 1, Oilers 1 Jason Robertson gets the Stars on the board with their 21st shot of the game. His power-play goal at 6:57 levels things after the Oilers killed off the Stars' first two power-play opportunities. Zach Hyman injury update: Oilers forward out for rest of Game 4 Edmonton will be down a key forward for the final two periods of Game 4. Advertisement Zach Hyman went to the locker room in the first period and never returned following a check from Mason Marchment. End of first period: Oilers 1, Stars 0 Dallas didn't score in the first period and Stuart Skinner is mostly to thank for that. The Stars peppered the Oilers' goalie with 17 shots but he stopped them all. The Stars will have nearly a full power play to work with on fresh ice to start the second period after Vasily Podkolzin was called for roughing at 19:52. Score update: Oilers 1, Stars 0 Edmonton is on the board first, courtesy of a Leon Draisaitl power-play goal. The Rocket Richard winner potted his seventh goal of the playoffs in signature fashion: with a one-timer from the right faceoff circle. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Corey Perry got the assists on the goal at 11:23 of the first. What time is Edmonton Oilers vs. Dallas Stars Game 4?

Powering Minneapolis icons: Cordia's energy innovations at U.S. Bank Stadium and Augsburg University
In a city known for its dynamic seasons, iconic skylines, and deep community roots, infrastructure is the invisible thread keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. At Cordia, we take great pride in being a part of that critical foundation — delivering reliable, efficient energy services to the institutions that make Minneapolis thrive. Two recent milestones underscore our continued investment in the city's future: our long-standing relationship with U.S. Bank Stadium and a renewed partnership with Augsburg University. A legacy of support for U.S. Bank Stadium U.S. Bank Stadium isn't just a premier sports and entertainment venue —it's a symbol of Minneapolis' forward-looking spirit. Since opening its doors in 2016 on the former site of the Metrodome, the stadium has hosted the Super Bowl, Final Four, and countless concerts, becoming a national showcase of what a modern facility can be. What many may not know is that Cordia has supported this site for decades, going back to the original Metrodome. When plans began to emerge for a new stadium, we saw it as an opportunity not just to continue our service, but to innovate and expand our infrastructure to meet the future needs of the facility. As part of a multi-year planning and engineering process, Cordia executed an agreement to provide U.S. Bank Stadium with both steam and chilled water service from our downtown energy system. To ensure peak reliability and performance, we installed a new, dedicated 24-inch chilled water line that feeds directly into the stadium. This line, along with dedicated booster pumps and a complete reconfiguration of the piping within our main plant, represented a significant investment in custom engineering and construction. The result is a highly efficient, resilient energy delivery system that supports everything from climate control for fans to optimal field conditions for athletes. It's a behind-the-scenes solution with very visible results. Renewing a community bond with Augsburg University Our work with Augsburg University is another proud chapter in Cordia's Minneapolis story. In late 2023, we renewed our energy partnership with the university — a relationship that has sustained for more than two decades. But this wasn't just a renewal; it was a reinvestment in the university's campus and the surrounding community. As part of this renewed agreement, Cordia purchased the university's existing steam line, assuming responsibility for its operation and long-term reliability. We recognized immediately that parts of the infrastructure were aging and required thoughtful, coordinated upgrades. But the situation also presented a unique challenge. Adjacent to Augsburg's campus is M Health Fairview Masonic Children's Hospital, a critical facility with round-the-clock operations and emergency care. We routed a new path for the replacement steam line — primarily to minimize piping in the public street for cost reasons — and coordinated construction carefully to avoid disruptions. This wasn't your typical infrastructure project. With an active emergency room entrance just feet from our construction zone, coordination and communication were paramount. Our teams collaborated daily with hospital and university staff, managing traffic, minimizing disruption, and adjusting schedules in real time to meet the needs of patients, students, and faculty alike. The result was a seamless installation that improved energy reliability without impacting access to essential services. Investing in Minneapolis' resilient future These two projects — at U.S. Bank Stadium and Augsburg University — are powerful examples of how Cordia's infrastructure investments aren't just about pipes and pumps; they're about partnerships. Our goal is to be more than an energy provider — we aim to be a trusted collaborator, designing systems that meet today's needs while preparing for tomorrow's challenges. Energy infrastructure in urban environments requires precision, patience, and a deep commitment to the community. Whether we're installing a 24-inch chilled water line beneath downtown streets or coordinating construction next to a hospital emergency entrance, our work is always guided by a focus on safety, sustainability, and service. Minneapolis continues to grow and evolve, and Cordia is proud to be growing with it. From powering iconic stadiums to supporting world-class education and healthcare institutions, we're honored to play a role in building a resilient, efficient, and connected city. As we look to the future, our mission remains clear: deliver energy solutions that empower communities — and do it with care, excellence, and partnership. Cordia is a leading provider of safe, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Cordia serves over 700 customers with heating, cooling, and electricity throughout the U.S. Cordia is committed to driving change toward a more resilient, sustainable energy future and empowering people and communities to reach their full potential. Learn more at Jacob Graff is a distinguished leader in the thermal and distributed energy infrastructure sector, currently serving as the regional president of the North and West for Cordia. With a wealth of expertise in orchestrating sales and operations of multiple thermal district energy systems, Graff is renowned for his strategic vision and operational prowess.

I Spend Wayyy Too Much Time On TikTok, So Trust Me When I Say These 28 Products From There Are Really Cool
A truly precious teensy 14-ounce Stanley Cup for any time you know you're going to feel a little parched but don't wanna lug around your 40-ounce cup. ORRR to get your kiddo a matching Stanley (partially because it's cute as heck and partially because you don't want their backwash in your cup anymore). A rechargeable heated ice cream scoop so you can get your well-deserved treat without bending your spoon or feeling like you did a whole dang workout just to get one scoop out. A set of glass spice containers with built-in retractable spoons so you can easily access salt, pepper, and other spices without having to dirty another spoon or shove your fingers in the container. Say goodbye to grabbing a pinch of red pepper flakes and then accidentally rubbing your eyes. 🥴 A set of drizzle-preventing ice pop holders that can hold any popsicle on a stick ORRR pop out the bottom to hold ice cream cones. Now your kiddos can enjoy the delicious frozen treats they love without creating a mountain of laundry for you to do... or maybe worse, getting super sticky hands and touching ~everything~ in sight. A cat desk nest so you can keep your purrrfect angel baby close but not so close that they are fully on your keyboard preventing you from actually doing any work. Check out a TikTok of the desk nest in nest can rotate 360 degrees and has an adjustable height so you can make it perfect for your space. It can hold up to 25 pounds!This has been perfect for my husband's desk. We have three needy cats who love to walk all over computer keyboards and lay out across a huge chunk of the desk. This gives them a spot where they can stay close but out of the way. They're also all pretty chonky but I feel confident in this being able to hold them all review: "All three of my cats LOVE their desk nest. My longhaired cat used to be a pest about being on my lap or splayed out on top of the desk whenever I was working. Now, he happily curls up in the Desk Nest and my workspace is open. It is very easy to assemble and extremely sturdy. If you work from home and have a Velcro cat/cats, you need a Desk Nest!" —Shannon LeighGet it from Amazon for $179 (available in two colors). A bizarre and frankly unprotective-looking phone case that truly proves you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. It's made with aerospace-grade aluminum that provides shock distribution to protect your phone from even the clumsiest people. Check out a TikTok of the phone case in action.I've had this phone case on for a couple of weeks now and I've been pretty impressed with it. I was honestly pretty confused when I first got it cause I didn't really understand how it was going to protect my phone since the majority is uncovered, but once I put it on and saw that it adds a lip to the screen, back, and camera, I realized my phone would be safe. I think the only way you could damage your phone is if you literally dropped it at the perfect angle on like a step or something where it hits the screen right in the center, but TBH I'm not worried about that perfect storm happening. I really like being able to actually feel my phone and not having a giant bulky case on it. Like, those things cost a lot, so why are we always hiding them in cheap cases?!Promising review: "The Arc Pulse is polarizing; people seem to either love it or hate it. It's funny, though, that most of the people who knock it have never tried it, and those who have tried it love it. It truly is a game changer, with above military-grade drop protection in a package that weighs a mere 18 grams, all while providing full access to the raw phone. Arc has accomplished something no other case maker has been able to. My new favorite case, by far." —ACBarnardGet it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in two colors, find additional phone sizes here). A Totchop because parents notoriously only ever have one hand available, and when your toddler says they want strawberries, they mean NOW and not in three minutes. This unique design allows you to slice, chop, and dice with an easy rocking motion and, most importantly, only one hand. E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara which is super futuristic and ahhh-mazing for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. Instead of rubbing the living heck out of your eyes at the end of a long day ~desperately~ trying to get all the mascara off, this stuff just magically glides off in little tubes to save you all that struggle when you just wanna go to bed. A splurge-worthy Cruiser City, the perfect love child of a stroller and wagon. You're getting all the room of a standard wagon but the steering and control of a stroller because you can push it instead of pulling it behind you and praying you aren't gonna run into something (or everything). An airtight Deli ProKeeper so you can toss those ugly deli bags and store your precious meats and cheeses inside this to keep them fresher longer. Not to mention, it'll help you maintain your ~aesthetic~ fridge vibes worthy of being in The Home Edit magazine. A Magic Tap automatic drink dispenser perfect for kiddos or anyone who has trouble lifting heavy (and awkwardly-shaped!) drink jugs. Now everyone can pour their own bevs without any fear of crying over spilled milk. A "Cup Claw" that'll help put an end to the horribly unfun game of trying to flatten out bra pads when they come out of the wash. It snags onto them like scissors so you can easily glide them back in and even them out. Come on, this is freakin' GENIUS. A "Beverage Buddee" can cover you can pop on top of your soda, seltzer, or beer to help protect it from getting any bugs or debris in it. It'll also help slow down any spills if your can gets knocked over. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder that'll help create silky smooth, poreless-looking, matte skin… I mean, come on, what kind of sorcery is this?! A food catcher designed to attach right to your highchair instead of resting on the floor so you don't have to break your back trying to pick up the collection of strawberries, chicken chunks, and pasta that is probably more than your kid actually ate. A cult-favorite Drowsy sleep mask to help you get the ultra-important blacked-out sleep you need with the skin protection you want. The padded mask will keep light out while the silk exterior helps prevent skin creases. Even the back and sides are silky, so you don't have to worry about waking up to a tangled mess of hair! Some cat bowls that are *gasp* square (!!) to fit perfectly into the corner of your room instead of the middle where you constantly kick them over. And they are taller than standard bowls to help promote a healthier posture. Check out the bowls on comes with one food bowl and one water bowl.A square bowl?! How revolutionary!! These are great because they are designed to be able to sit in corners instead of being out in the middle of a room. They're also tall which is great because that promotes a better posture for eating and drinking. PLUS, they are shallow, which helps prevent whisker fatigue. I've only had them for a little while, but so far my kitties seem to be loving them, and I love the look of them!Get a set of two from Cat by Dr. Lisa for $75 (available in three colors). A tube of Medicube Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask, a TikTok favorite, which is an overnight mask that uses hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin C, and turmeric to help improve elasticity and even out your skin tone. When you wake up, you just peel it away to reveal your refreshed skin. A chic under-the-cabinet banana hanger that helps keep them off your already limited counter and folds away when you're out of bananas for the week.

Your kiddo can start riding at 10 months, and this bad boy will grow with them until they are 36 (!!) months old by becoming an actual tricycle. A sophisticated and leakproof laptop lunch tote with a secret insulated compartment to keep your drinks and lunch perfectly cool! The main part of the bag functions as a traditional tote, with room for your laptop, notebook, and other work necessities. But when lunch rolls around, *BOOM,* your coworkers won't know what hit 'em.

A rotating disco ball diffuser so you can turn your room into a spa to help you relax for bedtime, or a disco party to help pump you up during your afternoon slump. Whatever the vibes, this cutie will bring the party (and good scents). A baby NutriBullet to seamlessly create delicious purées for your kiddo so you can know exactly what's in the meals you feed them.

This has been super helpful for starting solids with my daughter. While we aren't doing purées, per se, some foods just lend themselves to being blended, and there's no way I wanna break out the real gigantic blender for her like a tablespoon of food. This blends stuff up super well and the storage containers are really handy for when I have excess but don't wanna throw it away or put it into a full-size review: "I love this product. It's perfect if you're new to this and you're experimenting with puréeing new foods for your little one.

Promising review: "I've wanted to try this lip stain ever since I saw it on TikTok last year. It didn't disappoint either.
