The Dallas Stars can take a 2-0 series lead for the first time since the second round of the 2020 playoffs when they welcome the Edmonton Oilers to American Airlines Center on Friday night.
Game time is 8 p.m. EDT, and you can watch it on ESPN or live stream it on fubo TV (FREE trial), ESPN+, DIRECTV (FREE trial and discount) or Sling TV (discount).
The series will then move to Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, for Game 3 on Sunday and Game 4 on Tuesday.
Dallas won the series opener, 6-3 on Wednesday night, overcoming a two-goal deficit in the third period as Miro Heiskanen, Mikael Granlund and Matt Duchene scored power-play goals in a 5:26 span.
“It started with a power play,” Duchene told The Associated Press. ”You get one right way, and it’s like, ‘Hey, we’re back in it now with momentum.’ Get another one right away.”
Dallas opened the third period with a man advantage from a penalty that carried over from the second. Heiskanen scored 32 seconds in on a shot from near the blue line, Granlund tied it at 3 and Duchene put the Stars ahead to stay with a second-effort score.
