Zach Hyman was pivotal in the Edmonton Oilers' narrow 5-4 victory over the Dallas Stars, netting two goals and an assist. Connor McDavid also contributed with a goal and an assist, while Viktor Arvidsson and Connor Brown added to the score. The Oilers, now 37-22-4, showcased a strong start, leading 5-1 at one point, but allowed the Stars to claw back into the game. The Stars suffered a setback with Roope Hintz leaving after taking a puck to the face, and despite a strong debut from Mikko Rantanen, who scored once and assisted once, their four-game win streak was snapped.

The game witnessed stunning displays from players on both teams, with Stuart Skinner making 22 saves for Edmonton, contrasting with Jake Oettinger's performance for Dallas. Rantanen’s debut with Dallas, following a significant trade from Carolina, highlighted his impact on the ice, while Oilers' newcomer Jake Walman made an immediate impression in his first game.
