The Edmonton Oilers will need a comeback on Friday night after the Dallas Stars‘ comeback in Game 1 put them at a disadvantage in the Western Conference finals.
Dallas took a 1-0 series lead by rallying from a 3-1 deficit with five consecutive goals in the third period for a 6-3 win.
The Stars scored three power-play goals in the period, capitalizing on a weakness for the Oilers on the road this postseason.
Edmonton has given up 12 power-play goals on 25 opportunities on the road for a 52% penalty-killing percentage. They’re at 83.3% during home games.
Here’s what to know about Game 2 of the Western Conference finals between the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers, including how to watch:
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ power-play strike was the only goal of the first period.
Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner has stopped all 11 shots he’s faced, while counterpart Jake Oettinger has stopped nine of 10.
The Oilers did manage to kill off a Dallas power play, something they weren’t able to do in the third period of their Game 1 collapse. Edmonton will begin the second period with 1:31 of power play time after Stars defenseman Thomas Harley was called for holding at 19:29.
Just like in Game 1, the Oilers are on the board first.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins cashes in with a tap-in on the power play at 5:51 of the first.
Game 2 of the Oilers-Stars series will be played at 8 p.m. ET on Friday in Dallas.
