Edmonton Oilers secure Stanley Cup final spot with win over Dallas Stars

Edmonton has had a remarkable journey in the Western Conference. The team secured its spot in the Stanley Cup Final after defeating the Dallas Stars 2-1.

Connor McDavid's goal and assist set the tone early, supported by Stuart Skinner's 34 saves.

“Connor McDavid, doing Connor McDavid things," Skinner said

McDavid summed up the team's sentiment:

"We hung in there. We got it done. Everyone deserves it."

Zach Hyman also contributed a power-play goal. Despite Dallas' efforts, including Mason Marchment's third-period goal, they fell short.

Stars coach Peter DeBoer acknowledged the fine margins of playoff hockey.

“Proud of our group, proud of our fight, proud of our battle, You’re just gutted. They did leave everything out there. We should be going to play a Game 7, we’re not. You have to give Edmonton credit," DeBoer said.

Their power play particularly over the last two games was good, their goaltender was good. It’s fine lines when you get to this point of the year, and they were on the right side of it. … It’s tough to swallow.”

Edmonton's ascent from a 10-point deficit in the regular season to Cup contenders is historic. Leon Draisaitl, McDavid's teammate, praised him for his resilience.

“There's one player in the world that can make things like that happen,” Draisaitl said.

The EDM's refusal to touch the conference trophy reflects their focus on the ultimate prize. With only three shots in the first period, Edmonton's efficiency prevailed.
