The Edmonton Oilers look to take a commanding lead in the Western Conference Final against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night.
After blowing the lead in the opening game of the series, the Oilers have done an excellent job at taking care of business over the past two games. After goaltender Stuart Skinner posted a shutout in Game 2, the polarizing masked man came up with another great effort in the first game of the series in Edmonton.

The Stars pressed early and often on Sunday afternoon, ending up with 34 shots on goal. However, Skinner stood tall, only allowing one puck to get past him. His teammate backed him up, as Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman each scored two goals, leading to a 6-1 win.
Now, the Stars have to be wary of allowing Edmonton to pick up another win. They clearly have the firepower to put the puck in the net, but if they fail to do so on Tuesday, they will be looking at a huge mountain to climb.
