THE RUB
The Dallas Stars face elimination against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of the Western Conference final on Sunday, trailing the best-of-seven series 3-2.
The Stars have struggled in the last two games, including Friday’s 3-1 loss, and must rediscover their form to stay alive in the series.
Despite recent setbacks, the Stars have reasons for optimism, having won six of eight road games during the playoffs. Goaltender Jake Oettinger has been a key player, with a 1.71 goals-against average and a .947 save percentage in those road games. Forward Wyatt Johnston, who scored the lone goal in Game 5, emphasizes the need to focus on the next game rather than past performances.
Edmonton, on the other hand, has gained momentum, coming back from a 2-0 deficit in Game 4 to win 5-2 and taking control of the series. The Oilers are aiming to maintain their recent form while keeping their emotions in check, especially with the support of their passionate home crowd. Forward Zach Hyman and Leon Draisaitl highlighted the importance of staying focused and confident.
The Oilers, who last reached the Stanley Cup Final in 2006, know the challenge of closing out a series, having come back from a 3-2 deficit against the Vancouver Canucks in the second round. Edmonton aims to leverage their offensive prowess and defensive capabilities to secure a spot in the finals.
