Beau Akey is a known prospect to Oilers fans. He missed most of last season due to injury, and didn’t completely establish himself as a top-flight offensive defender in 2024-25. He’s a speedy player, a right-handed defender, has skill and should see major minutes in the AHL with the Bakersfield Condors next season.

While the Stars’ side was peppered with postgame questions about the slash against Roope Hintz, the Oilers mostly took questions around the performance of goalie Stuart Skinner, who shut down 25 shots on goal from Dallas en route to his third shutout win in Edmonton’s last four games. See what the Oilers had to say after Game 2 below.

The Edmonton Oilers won Game 2 of their series against the Dallas Stars with a commanding performance, shutting them out 3–0. Except for at least one foolish penalty, Edmonton put on an absolute clinic last night.
