Stars score 3 fast goals, from Oilers | The Arkansa's democrat gazette

Dallas-Miro Heiskanen, Mikael Granlund and Matt Düchene scored in a period of 5:26 in the third half, and the Dallas Stars opened on Wednesday evening with a 6: 3 victory of their final of the NHL Western Conference against the Edmonton Oilers.

Dallas began the third period with a two-goal deficit and a man from a punishment from a punishment that exceeds the second. Hotkans scored 32 seconds after a shot near the blue line, Granlund tied it and Düchene brought the stars in front of him to remain with a second effect value that made it 4: 3.

“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.

Tyler Seguin had two goals and a template for the stars. Esa Lindell added an empty network that went almost over the entire ice duration to give them their first third period of five goals in a playoff game. 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 achieved a power play goal and an assist, defender Evan Bouchard scored his fifth goal and Connor McDavid achieved two templates.

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 excluded 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, then 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.
