Outlook:
Dallas has been decimated with injuries this season, but still managed to win. Now they are healthier than ever this year and their confidence is high. Edmonton relies on their speed, but face an uphill battle with Dallas defense.
The Stars got Jere Lehtinen back in the lineup and he will be key factor. Brett Hull had a quiet season, but he will get hot in the playoffs. Ed Belfour has had a great season and he only gets better in the playoffs.
The Oilers have to be much more disciplined if they are to have a chance. They can't expect to score many power-play goals against Stars' league-leading penalty kill. Goalie Tommy Salo is underrated, but he has to play 110% and get support from Oilers' defense.
Prediction:
Stars in five.
