Dallas Stars Seek Series Lead over Oilers
- The Dallas Stars secured a victory in Game 1 of the Western Conference final rematch against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday in Dallas, highlighted by an NHL playoff record for the franchise with five goals scored during the third period.
- Dallas secured this spot by breaking a long-standing pattern of dropping the first game in playoff series since 2022 and by clinching the decisive Game 6 victory against the league-leading Winnipeg in the second round.
- After missing most of the regular season and the early playoff games due to left knee surgery, Matt Duchene scored his first playoff goal of the year, which marked the third power-play score in a row for Dallas within the opening six minutes of the third period.
- Mikko Rantanen, who leads the NHL postseason with nine goals and 20 points, has not scored in the past four games; however, the Dallas Stars have still managed to secure victories in three of those contests, demonstrating their ability to succeed beyond his scoring contributions.
- Dallas has the chance to go up 2-0 in the series against Edmonton, a situation they have not reached in any of their last 12 playoff matchups dating back to 2020, which could provide a significant boost to their momentum.
