Game 5 ends with a loss for the Dallas Stars, Edmonton Oilers advance to the finals
Edmonton Oilers Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals took place at the American Airlines Centre on Thursday. The match between the Edmonton Oilers and the Dallas Stars ended with a win for the Oilers. The Oilers will now compete with the defending champions, the Florida Panthers, in the finals for the Stanley Cup. Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers coaches comment on Game 5 win for the Oilers — mirror7news (@mirror7news) This marks the third time that the Dallas Stars were eliminated from the conference finals. While Jason Robertson scored twice and Thomas Harley and Wyatt Johnston each made two assists, they could not save the Stars from a loss. Additionally, Jake Oettinger star goalie of the Stars faced two shots, which he could not save at the beginning of the match. Oettinger was replaced by Casey DeSmith in the first 7 minutes of the game. Commenting on the win, the head coach of the Edmonton Oilers , Kris Knoblauch, said, 'We should definitely be proud of what we've accomplished. We should feel happy about what has gone on. Our [mindset] hasn't been just be the best team out of the West. All summer, we weren't thinking about that. We were thinking about the ultimate prize. This is a mature group, they're older, they've seen a lot of playoff hockey. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kickstart your new journey with the Honda Shine 125 Honda Learn More Undo They know what they need to get it done. I liked how we played throughout the game. ' On the other hand, Peter DeBoer, the head coach of the Dallas Stars , said, 'I think it's possible to be two things at the same time," he further added, 'I'm really proud of the resiliency of our group through the first two rounds. We scratched and clawed and found a way to beat two really good teams. And I'm also disappointed that we didn't find another level, another gear here, another way. Getting back here to this point, how hard it is to get back here. I would say I'm both those things. I think that's OK, and I think our group needs to go and -- coaches, players -- and reflect in the summer on what we can do better when we get to this point against the best teams. But there's no doubt the two best teams are playing for the Cup.'

We always rose up to the challenge. Didn't matter who was out. Guys were stepping up. We just didn't get it done here. It [stinks]. I mean, three years in a row now [losing in the conference final]. You get that close and you come up short. It doesn't matter who you're playing. Obviously, not a good feeling.'

Stars Shift Focus to First Game Against Oilers
After a low-scoring series against the Winnipeg Jets, the Dallas Stars now fully shift their focus for the opening game of the Western Conference Final against the Edmonton Oilers. Dallas won their first Game 1 in Winnipeg since the 2020 Stanley Cup Final against Tampa Bay, and it boosted them in the series in which they never trailed. Now, the Stars once again have home-ice advantage against the Oilers (and for the Stanley Cup Final, if they make it), so winning the first game becomes even more critical. In fact, the Stars have not won a Game 1 at the American Airlines Center since the 2016 playoffs, where they did so against both Minnesota and St. Louis. In last season's opener against Edmonton, the Stars and Oilers went to double overtime before Connor McDavid ended the game with a tip-in. Dallas was able to take a 2-1 series lead after that, but eventually fell in six games. Game 1 and 5 were both losses at home, which contributed to a 4-6 home playoff record last season for Dallas. This season, the Stars are 6-1 at home so far. A key piece to the series will be getting some players going on the score sheet after an offensively weak round against the Jets. The Stars were shut out twice, and a hat trick from Mikko Rantanen and Mikael Granlund were the only goals scored in Games 1 and 4. The Stars only scored one goal in regulation in Game 6 as well, before Thomas Harley won the game early in overtime. Jake Oettinger out-dueled Connor Hellebuyck in a battle of top U.S. born goalies, and now must battle Stuart Skinner for the Oilers. Skinner was shaky last postseason but suddenly became lights-out against Dallas. This playoff run, he was just as shaky to start, and was replaced in the starter's crease by Calvin Pickard midway through the opening round against the Los Angeles Kings. Pickard finished that series and started strong against the Vegas Golden Knights in round two before suffering an injury that forced Skinner back into action. Skinner ended up posting two shutouts in a row to close out Vegas in five games, including a 1-0 overtime win in Game 5. Dallas went 0-for-14 on the power play last year against the Oilers, and gave up a shorthanded goal as well. Edmonton was 4-for-11. The special teams for the Stars need to be far better this time around. Stars head coach Pete DeBoer said there would be game-time decisions regarding the lineup. Dallas has been going with seven defensemen since Miro Heiskanen returned, but if Heiskanen feels strong enough to play 20 minutes without hesitation, DeBoer has indicated he might go back to playing only six blue liners. Puck drop is at 7 p.m. CDT at the American Airlines Center and the game can be seen nationally on ESPN and streaming on ESPN+.
