NHL experts, by and large, are not giving the Oilers the benefit of the doubt heading into their Western Conference Final against the Stars.

It's a rematch of last season's Western Conference final, but with a few new twists on both sides that could change the game.

For the second consecutive year, the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers are meeting in the NHL Western Conference Finals. Game 1 goes down Wednesday, May 21 at Dallas’ American Airlines Center.
