The Edmonton Oilers have advanced to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2006 after defeating the Dallas Stars 2-1 in Game 6 of the Western Conference Final. Connor McDavid, the Oilers' captain, will make his first Stanley Cup Final appearance in his nine-year career. The Oilers managed to clinch the series despite recording only 10 shots on goal, tying an NHL record for the fewest shots in a playoff win. They will face the Florida Panthers, who advanced to their second consecutive Stanley Cup Final. Game 1 is scheduled for Saturday, June 8, in Sunrise, Florida. The Oilers, now Western Conference champions, are seeking their sixth Stanley Cup and aim to become the first Canadian team to win the championship since 1993.
