Stars Face Major Challenge with Tanev's Potential Game 5 Absence
The status of Dallas Stars defenseman Chris Tanev, who was injured in Game 4, is uncertain for Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers, making the series even more unpredictable. Both teams have reasons to believe they can win the Western Conference Final: the Oilers' power play is due for a resurgence, they have depth in their forward lines, and they may have found a better defensive mix. The Stars, on the other hand, have strong goaltending from Jake Oettinger, a level-headed approach led by captain Jamie Benn, and depth that could see key players break out of scoring slumps.
