Oilers' 1999 Series vs. Stars: The Closest Sweep in Team History

Of the dozens upon dozens of postseason series that the Edmonton Oilers have played in their NHL history, their 1999 Western Conference Quarter-Finals match-up with the Dallas Stars is probably one of the least remembered. Game 4 ended in Edmonton on April 28 at 1:03 a.m. with Joe Nieuwednyk scoring on Tommy Salo. There was barely enough time for Edmonton to catch playoff fever. This series probably isn't even that clearly recalled by Dallas fans.
