The Dallas Stars were able to even up their Western Conference Final series against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2.
Forward Mason Marchment provided the game-winning goal at the 3:41 mark of the third period. Marchment’s goal helped the Stars regain the lead at 2-1, and ultimately helped Dallas notch a 3-1 win.
Both teams came out of the gate extremely strong from an offensive standpoint.
At the 3:39 mark of the opening period, the Stars were able to chip the puck out of their own zone, and forward Jamie Benn ended up with it. Benn operated a two-on-one with teammate Logan Stankoven, but elected to keep the puck and fired a shot past Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner.
Less than a minute later, the Oilers struck back. While the Oilers were in the middle of a line change, defenseman Cody Ceci put the puck on net on a redirected shot off of a pass from forward Connor Brown. Brown was able to deposit a rebound into the net to tie the game after goaltender Jake Oettinger made the initial stop.
Stars defenseman Esa Lindell added an empty-net goal late in the third period to put the game out of reach.
Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger provided a stabilizing presence in net as he stopped 28 of 29 shots on the night. Oettinger surrendered just one goal for the fourth time across his last six playoff contests.
