The Oilers are coming off a successful season in which they reached the Western Conference Finals. The Stars also had a strong season, finishing second in their division. The two teams are looking to build on their success in the 2023-24 season.
The Oilers will open their season on October 12 against the Vancouver Canucks. The Stars will open their season on October 21 against the Kalamazoo Wings.
