Sports Seriously
The Dallas Stars host the Edmonton Oilers in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals in what figures to be a thrilling NHL playoff series.
The playoffs haven’t been easy for Dallas, which survived a seven-game battle with the Colorado Avalanche and then saw off the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Winnipeg Jets in six. Winger Mikko Rantanen, who came to the Stars at the trade deadline, leads all players with nine goals and 19 points, while goalie Jake Oettinger has stood tall despite facing 102 more shots than anyone else in these playoffs.
For Edmonton, everything may be coming together at a perfect moment. The Oilers were down 2-0 in the first round, but have since won eight of nine to eliminate the Los Angeles Kings and Vegas Golden Knights. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have combined for 25 assists for a team that has weaponized its outstanding team speed to earn this shot at a Stanley Cup Final berth.
