Dallas Stars vs Edmonton Oilers Game 5: How to watch NHL playoffs, TV channel, streaming

The Edmonton Oilers are one victory away from setting up a rematch of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final.

The Oilers, up 3-1 in the Western Conference finals, visit the Dallas Stars on Thursday night for Game 5. The winner of the best-of-seven series will face the Florida Panthers, who secured a third consecutive berth in the championship round with Wednesday’s 5-3 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes.

If the Oilers win Thursday, the final will start on Wednesday, June 4. If Dallas forces a Game 6, the series will start on Saturday, June 7.

The Stars have never won a series they trailed 3-1. They did force a Game 7 once. The Oilers have blown a 3-1 series lead once.
