The Western Conference Final resumes this Sunday, May 25, as the Edmonton Oilers welcome the Dallas Stars to Rogers Place for Game 3, with the series finely balanced at one game apiece. With the stakes growing higher, both clubs know this next contest could be a turning point in their pursuit of a Stanley Cup berth.
After a shaky performance in the opener, Stuart Skinner redeemed himself in Game 2 with a standout showing between the pipes. The Oilers' netminder turned aside all 25 shots he faced, securing his third shutout of the postseason and backstopping Edmonton to a decisive 3-0 win in Dallas. It was a statement game from a team determined not to return home trailing in the series.
Connor Brown embodied the Oilers’ resilience, returning to the action after taking a skate to the face and later burying a goal for good measure. Veteran forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins delivered a captain’s-caliber performance with a goal and an assist, while Brett Kulak also lit the lamp. Evan Bouchard continued his postseason brilliance, tallying two assists and helping steer the Oilers to victory.
On the other side, Jake Oettinger did what he could to keep the Stars in the fight, stopping 22 shots. But Dallas, who had been riding a wave of momentum with seven straight playoff wins at American Airlines Center, saw that impressive run come to a sudden halt.
Now, the Central Division’s second seed heads north looking to regroup and reassert themselves in what promises to be an intense Game 3 showdown.
