Stars achieve 3 pp goals in 5 1/2 minutes earlier in the 3rd Rally to defeat Oilers 6: 3 in game 1

Dallas-Die Dallas-Stars did their way to a series opening victory at the last remaining reservoir of the Western Conference with the Edmonton Oilers.

And it was a quick turnaround.

Miro Heikanen, Mikael Granlund and Matt Düchene scored in a period of 5:26 in the third period, when the stars overcurred a two-goal deficit in a 6: 3 victory on Wednesday evening.

“It started with a play game,” said Duchene. “You get a real way and it's like: 'Hey, we are now back with momentum.' Get another one immediately.

Dallas opened the third period with a man from a punishment that exceeds the second. Hotkans scored 32 seconds with a shot from near the blue line, Granlund tied it at 3 and düchene brought the stars ahead to stay with a second -session.

“I didn't feel that I had earned the position in which they were in for 40 minutes. So the boys answered. We were lucky. We have some power play goals,” said stars coach Pete Deboer. “I am happy about our power game. At that time of the year last year it took a lot of heat. It was the difference for us tonight, so it's great. ''

Tyler Seguin had two goals and a template for the stars. ESA Lindell added an empty network that for her first third five-goal period in a playoff game was almost the entire ice length of the ice. Jake Oetttinger stopped 24 shots.

Game 2 is in Dallas on Friday evening.

Dallas was lost in six games with 0 for 14 with power games last year and gave two goals with a short hand. The stars did not convert to this opener with a man from just 7 1/2 minutes, but quickly turned this in the third period.

Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two templates for the rested Oilers, who had completed for the first time since the end of her second round in game 5 in Vegas. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had a power play goal and an assistant, defender Evan Bouchard had his fifth goal and Connor McDavid.

Stuart Skinner, who had lost his starting job in these playoffs before Calvin Pickard was injured in the last series, stopped 22 out of 27 shots. Skinner had closed the golden knights with successive shutouts.

“The goals went somewhat different in different ways. Here, too, it is a different series, so they show us different things,” said Skinner. “The PK, it was a bit up and down. It was bad at the beginning of the first round when it got better. It was great, everything against Vegas and (now) a fight for a game. I mean it is another game.”

Hotkans and Duchene both scored for the first time in this off -season.

It was only the fourth game for Heikanen since he missed the last 32 games of the regular season and the first 10 playoff games because of the operation of the left knee. He scored a criter from near the boards directly in the blue line.

Düchene scored his goal after his first shot was laid out the team -mate Roope Hintz, which was laid on the ice after the depressed knot. The puck went back to Duchene, who then snapped him into the net.

“The first to hit him, I am like, that is for me for the course in this post. If something could go wrong, it is done and then it comes back,” said Duchene. “I couldn't believe that I still had space. A kind of funny. But it feels good.”

The stars won their seventh home game in a row this after season, a first since the franchise that moved to Dallas in 1993. After the loss of eight games in a row, the stars won successive series openings.
