The Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers reignite their playoff rivalry tonight at the American Airlines Center, opening Game 1 of the 2025 NHL Western Conference Final at 7:00 PM CT.
This marks the second consecutive year these teams face off in the conference finals, with Edmonton having won last year's series in six games.
Dallas enters the series with a revamped roster, highlighted by the addition of forward Mikko Rantanen, who has tallied nine goals and ten assists in the playoffs.
The Stars' balanced offense and strong goaltending from Jake Oettinger, who boasts a .922 save percentage, have been pivotal in their postseason success. Edmonton counters with the dynamic duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, combining for 17 points in the playoffs, and the return of defenseman Mattias Ekholm from injury bolsters their blue line.
Tickets for tonight's game start at $169, reflecting the high demand for this marquee matchup.
Fans can catch the action live on ESPN and ESPN+.
