Stars vs Oilers Western Conference Final Game 1 Tonight—Start Time, Live Stream, Odds & Must-Watch Storylines
• Hot Trendy News
EDMONTON — The Stars vs Oilers showdown in the 2025 Western Conference Final heads north of the border tied 1-1 after Edmonton’s statement 3-0 win in Game 2, setting up a pivotal Game 3 Sunday afternoon at Rogers Place. Fans searching for the latest score, live-stream information, injury updates and playoff odds need look no further—here’s everything you should know to stay ahead of the buzz.
Game 2 recap: Skinner slams the door
Stuart Skinner silenced the American Airlines Center with a 25-save shutout, his third of the postseason, while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (1 G, 1 A) spearheaded the attack. Brett Kulak and Connor Brown scored 73 seconds apart in the second period to bury Dallas and erase memories of the Stars’ 6-3 Game 1 victory. The Oilers have now won nine of their last 11 playoff contests.
Key storylines for Game 3
• McDavid momentum: Connor McDavid owns 20 points in 13 playoff games and historically averages 1.9 PPG when facing a series deficit, fifth-best in NHL history.
• Stars’ depth drought: Dallas hasn’t received a goal from 35-goal scorer Jason Robertson since his return from injury, while veteran support pieces Matt Duchene, Mason Marchment, Evgenii Dadonov and Jamie Benn have combined for just four goals in 15 playoff games.
• Home-ice flip: Edmonton is 5-1 on home ice this spring; Dallas had been 7-0 at AAC before Friday’s shutout.
• Faceoff chess match: The Stars dominated draws in Game 1, but Edmonton reversed the edge to 52% in Game 2—watch whether Leon Draisaitl or Roope Hintz (if available) tips the balance.
Injury watch
Roope Hintz exited late in Game 2 after a collision and is questionable for Sunday. His absence would force Dallas coach Pete DeBoer to promote Wyatt Johnston or Tyler Seguin into top-line center duties and further test a depth chart already searching for offense.
How to watch and live stream Game 3
• Puck drop: Sunday, May 25, 3 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. MT
• TV: ABC (U.S.), SN / CBC (Canada)
• Streaming: ESPN+, SN NOW, fuboTV, Hulu Live TV, and the ESPN app (authentication required)
Stat pack to impress your friends
• Series leaders: McDavid (3-17-20), Draisaitl (9-9-18); Stars: Wyatt Johnston (7-4-11).
• Special teams: Edmonton’s power play is clicking at 33.3% vs Dallas’ 22.7%; the Stars killed all four penalties in Game 2 after surrendering three PPGs in Game 1.
• Goaltending duel: Skinner’s playoff SV% jumped to .918; Jake Oettinger sits at .910 after stopping 22 of 25 Friday.
What’s at stake
Historically, teams that capture a 2-1 edge in a best-of-seven advance 68.9% of the time. With the Florida Panthers already threatening to wrap up the East, neither club wants to chase the series from behind and risk a short turnaround before the Stanley Cup Final.
Prediction snapshot
If Hintz sits, Dallas’ five-on-five scoring could continue to sputter, putting enormous pressure on Oettinger. Edmonton’s top-line speed and surging confidence make the Oilers slight favorites in Game 3, but expect a tighter affair as Dallas leans on Robertson and its mobile blue line to manufacture rebounds and jam Skinner’s crease.
