Game 3 of the Western Conference Final heads north to Rogers Place this Sunday, May 25, with the series deadlocked at 1-1 as the Edmonton Oilers prepare to host the Dallas Stars in what’s shaping up to be a tightly contested battle for a spot in the Stanley Cup Final.
After a rough outing in Game 1, goaltender Stuart Skinner answered the call in emphatic fashion, posting a 25-save shutout—his third of the postseason, to help the Oilers blank Dallas 3-0 on Friday night. The bounce-back performance was exactly what Edmonton needed to level the series before heading home.
Connor Brown, who took a skate to the face earlier in the game, showed true grit by returning to the ice and notching a goal. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins led by example, contributing a goal and an assist, while Brett Kulak also found the back of the net. Evan Bouchard added to his growing playoff résumé with a pair of helpers in a solid all-around effort from the Pacific Division’s No. 3 seed.
For the Stars, Jake Oettinger turned away 22 shots but got little help at the other end of the ice. Dallas came into Game 2 riding the high of seven consecutive playoff victories at home, but saw that streak snapped in frustrating fashion. Now, the Central Division’s second seed must regroup and respond with conviction as they head into hostile territory for a pivotal third clash.
With both teams now trading blows and the series finely poised, Game 3 could serve as a turning point. Expect a fired-up Rogers Place crowd, a relentless Edmonton forecheck, and a Dallas squad hungry to reassert itself and wrestle back control.
