The Oilers will play either the Dallas Stars or the Winnipeg Jets in the Western Conference Final. Dallas leads that best-of-7 series 3-1 with Game 5 on Thursday (9:30 p.m. ET; TNT, truTV, MAX, CBC, TVAS, SN).

The sudden-death tally gave Edmonton a 4-1 series win. The Oilers advance to the Western Conference final for the second straight season, and third time in the last four years, where they await the winner of the Winnipeg Jets and Dallas Stars series.

The Oilers, who last season made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final before losing in seven games to Florida, will play Dallas or Winnipeg in the next round. The Stars, who lead 3-1, will go for the series win Thursday night.
