4-3 Stars in a Shoot-Out
Edmonton Oilers vs. Dallas Stars: Game Summary - November 4, 2025In a tense Central Division showdown at American Airlines Center, the Dallas Stars rallied from a two-goal deficit to top the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 in a shootout, boosting their hold on first place while dealing Edmonton a frustrating setback. The Oilers jumped ahead in the first period when Vasily Podkolzin tucked in a rebound at 3:40 off a scramble, followed by Leon Draisaitl's slick power-play redirect from the goal line at 7:07 to make it 2-0—his ninth tally of the year, keeping him out front in the NHL scoring race with 16 points.
Dallas clawed one back in the second as Mikko Rantanen swatted home a loose puck at 9:10 on the man advantage for his milestone 300th career goal, trimming the margin to 2-1. Edmonton restored breathing room in the third with Connor McDavid's pinpoint wrister from the circle at 7:51, his third goal and 19th point (3G, 16A) while stretching his assist streak to six games. But the Stars surged late: Rantanen struck again at 8:37 with a gritty net-front tip to pull within one, then Miro Heiskanen jammed in a rebound at 12:20 off the end wall to force overtime at 3-3.
The extra session yielded no breakthroughs, paving the way for the shootout where Wyatt Johnston's glove-side snipe decided it after a 1-1 round-robin exchange—Dallas' young stars outshone Edmonton's in the clutch. Johnston's three helpers earned him first-star honors, while Rantanen (2G, 1A) dazzled; for Edmonton, Jack Roslovic chipped in two assists, but Stuart Skinner (23 saves) couldn't snag the bonus point against Casey DeSmith's 24 stops. The win vaults Dallas (7-3-3) to 17 points and sole possession of Central Division lead, one clear of Colorado via regulation wins, as Edmonton (6-5-4) dips to 16 points, now three back in the scrum. Next: Oilers host Colorado Saturday, hungry to rebound in the Cup hunt.Mack McColl and Grok by xAI
