Stars defenceman Chris Tanev suited up after taking a shot off his right foot in the second period of Game 4. Nugent-Hopkins scored the first power-play goal of the series at 14:09 of the opening period. Bouchard's one-timer was blocked by Tanev, but the puck popped right to the longest-serving Oilers player at the side of the net for him to swat home his fifth of the post-season.
Corey Perry went to the Oilers locker room earlier in the period favouring his right shoulder after a hard check on fellow 39-year-old forward Joe Pavelski, but returned in the second.
