NHL playoffs: Oilers close out Stars to reach Stanley Cup Final, set up series with Panthers

For the first time in nearly two decades, the Edmonton Oilers are headed to the Stanley Cup Final.

The Oilers closed out their Western Conference finals series against the Dallas Stars on Sunday night with a huge 2-1 win at Rogers Place in Alberta. That gave them the 4-2 series win and secured a trip to the finals for the first time since 2006.

The Oilers haven’t won the championship since 1990, when they won their fifth title in a seven-year span. If the Oilers can pull off another title, they'll be the first Canadian team to win the championship since 1993.
