What the Oilers Said: Stars Flip the Script on Special Teams Narrative in Game 1
- On May 21, 2025, the Edmonton Oilers lost Game 1 of the Western Conference finals to the Dallas Stars 6-3 in Dallas after surrendering three consecutive power-play goals in the third period.
- The Oilers had led 3-1 after two periods but let down their guard by taking multiple penalties late in the second and early third period, which allowed Dallas to capitalize on their power play.
- Edmonton’s penalty kill faced difficulties, allowing 12 goals while shorthanded across 25 opportunities, and their effectiveness on the road power play was limited, converting just once in 17 chances despite maintaining strong puck possession.
- Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl, who recorded a goal and two assists, noted that conceding goals on the penalty kill disrupts their rhythm and forces them to play catch-up, while defenseman Darnell Nurse emphasized the straightforward nature of the penalty kill issues.
- The loss ended Edmonton’s four-game road playoff winning streak, putting pressure on the team to improve their special teams; Game 2 is scheduled for May 23, 2025, in Dallas, with the series shifting to Edmonton on Sunday.
