The Oilers have their road to redemption underway as the team looks to be in good spirits ahead of the first game of the Western Conference Finals. The Oilers miss out on Calvin Pickard and Mattias Ekholm for the first couple of games of the Western Conference Finals while Alec Regula is sidelined for the rest of the season.

The Stars had a close encounter with the Avalanche in round one, while the games against the Jets were rather easier to face as they hope to make it through to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in years. Nils Lundkvist is currently the only player sidelined for the Stars as he set to miss the rest of the season.
