Edmonton Oilers game preview
Despite losing their opening three matchups, the Oilers have won back-to-back games against the Philadelphia Flyers and Nashville Predators. Edmonton fell short in the Stanley Cup finals last season with the finest of margins and will aim to head back onto the big stage this season and get their hands on the cup.
Edmonton Oilers injuries
Evander Kane and Roby Jarventie are sidelined for the Oilers for a long-term duration, with the return of both stars scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
Dallas Stars game preview
The Stars have gotten off to a phenomenal start to their season, winning their first four games. Their first and only defeat came against the Washington Capitals in their latest outing, losing 3-2 with the tightest of margins.
Dallas Stars injuries
Tyler Seguin, Sam Steel and Matt Dumba are all currently sidelined for the Stars. Seguin is set to return to the ice in the coming week, but Steel and Dumba are unlikely to feature for the Stars anytime soon.
Oilers and Stars key players
Connor McDavid has been the main star for the Oilers, with the forward scoring one goal and providing four assists in the first five games. McDavid has started this season exactly where he left the last one, and things are only looking upwards for the forward.
Mason Marchment, Wyatt Johnston and Logan Stankoven have all scored five points for the Stars this season. With three players firing on all cylinders, the Stars will hope for an end-to-end attacking game as they take on an Oilers team that looks confident.
