In Thursday's Game 2, the Oilers and Stars were deadlocked at two goals apiece in double overtime. Then, Connor McDavid suddenly broke the tie, making up for a double-minor penalty in the first overtime period with a tip-in goal off a pass from Evan Bouchard that gave Edmonton an early lead in the 2024 Western Conference Finals.
"It was nice to score an overtime goal," McDavid told reporters after the win. "A big goal, great play by [Bouchard], as per usual."
A big goal indeed, as the Oilers are now three wins away from their first Stanley Cup Final appearance since 2006. Nearly two decades ago, they fell to the Hurricanes in seven games.
There won't be much time for the Stars or Oilers to rest, as Game 2 is scheduled to be played in Dallas on Saturday night. Dallas will be looking to avoid a 2-0 deficit before the series shifts to Canada.
