Oilers, Stars Set for Western Conference Final Game 1

McDavid Powers Oilers to Overtime Win

Stars Fall at Home to Open Series

The Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars will face off in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final on Thursday night at American Airlines Center. The Oilers took the first game of the series in dramatic fashion, with Connor McDavid scoring the game-winning goal just 32 seconds into the second overtime period.

McDavid's goal was his second of the game and gave the Oilers a much-needed win in a series that they are widely expected to lose. The Stars were the Presidents Trophy winners this season and have home-ice advantage throughout the playoffs, but the Oilers have shown that they are not to be taken lightly.

The Oilers are now 6-0 in overtime games this postseason and have shown a remarkable ability to win close games. They will need to continue to play their best hockey if they want to upset the Stars and advance to the Stanley Cup Final.

The Stars will be looking to bounce back in Game 2 on Saturday night. They will need to find a way to slow down McDavid and the Oilers' high-powered offense. If they can do that, they will have a good chance of tying the series before it heads back to Edmonton.

Game 2 of the Western Conference Final will be Saturday, May 28. Live coverage of the Edmonton Oilers vs Dallas Stars NHL game on ESPN including live score highlights and.
