The Oilers won Game 4 against the Dallas Stars 5-2 to even the series at 2-2.

Let’s get into the 20/20.

Tanev’s addition changed the stars before the deadline, they become a much better defensive team and it re-slotted the pairs.

In the postseason he’s gone head-to-head with Jack Eichel and Nathan MacKinnon and won his matchups.
