The Oilers will want to bounce back after looking out of sorts in Game 1. The Oilers will miss 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.

Meanwhile, the Stars were not only the better team in Game 1, but they looked levels above their opponent. Nils Lundkvist is currently the only player sidelined for the Stars as he is set to miss the rest of the season.

Oilers vs. Stars: Key players

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have combined for 38 points in the playoffs and will be key for the Oilers if they are to progress. Expect Edmonton to lean heavily on its two superstars as they seek not only to tie the series but also gain some redemption on Thursday. Shutting them down will be a priority for the Stars.

Meanwhile, Mikko Rantanen, Roope Hintz and Thomas Harley have scored 42 points between them for Dallas. The trio looks determined to take the Stars through to the playoff finals and will take some stopping. It will be interesting to see if Edmonton can have more success in doing just that in Game 2.
