We’re getting close to the Stanley Cup Finals. However, the winner of the Western Conference Finals has yet to be decided. Continuing on Tuesday, May 27, Game 4 features the Oilers looking to go up 3-1 after taking Game 2 and Game 3, while the Dallas Stars look to even the series at 2-2 before heading back to Dallas for Game 5.
The winner will face off against the Eastern Conference Champions, either the Florida Panthers or Carolina Hurricanes, for the Stanley Cup.
Looking to catch Game 4? Below is a quick guide on the best ways to watch Edmonton vs. Dallas, plus a full schedule of the NHL Playoffs series.
Game 4 of the Oilers vs. Stars playoff series is broadcast on ESPN. If you don’t have cable, the best way to watch the Edmonton-Dallas series is with ESPN+. But, DirecTV and Fubo are also great options since both services carries ESPN too, which will have simulcasts of games. Here’s a breakdown of these options, including free trial and pricing information:
Pros: Low monthly price, exclusive sports coverage
Cons: ESPN channel not included
ESPN+ will carry every game during the NHL Western Conference Finals this year. These post-season games are also airing on ESPN or ABC. If you don’t want to spring for a more expensive live TV streaming service, ESPN+ is an affordable option, starting at $11.99 per month.
Please note: ESPN+ does not include the linear ESPN channels, like ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNEWS, ESPNU and others.
One of the best ways to watch the 2025 NHL Playoffs, including the Oilers vs. Stars series, is DirecTV. The streaming service offers various streaming options, while it carries ESPN. The best package for the NHL is the “MySports” plan, which carries more than 20 sports channels, which starts with a five-day free trial and costs $69.99 monthly after the trial ends.
Another streaming service that will let you watch Oilers vs. Stars online is Fubo. The service carries ESPN in its “Pro” plan, which costs $84.99 per month. However, Fubo offers a seven-day free trial to start and $20 off your first month of service. Overall, the streamer carries more than 300 channels in total with its “Elite” plan. It’s pretty comprehensive.
Sling is the more wallet-friendly live TV streaming service option. NHL fans can use to watch Oilers vs. Stars and other NHL Playoff games on TNT, ESPN and ABC with the Sling Orange + Blue package. It starts at $33 for the first month of service, $65.99 per month afterwards. Unfortunately, Sling does not currently offer a free trial.
