THE RUB
The Stars are set to host Game 2 of the Western Conference final on Saturday, aiming to rebound from a 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers in the opener. Despite losing the first game, the Stars have a history of bouncing back, having recovered from early losses in previous series against the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche.
Dallas erased a two-goal deficit in Game 1 and nearly won in the first overtime when Jason Robertson hit the post. The possible return of top-line center Roope Hintz, who missed the last three games, adds to their optimism.
The Oilers’ penalty killing has been stellar, with a 92.5 percent success rate in the playoffs. Edmonton’s defense complements their offensive strength, with goals from Leon Draisaitl, Zach Hyman, and Connor McDavid in the opener. The Oilers have allowed only 10 goals in their past five games and may also see the return of veteran forward Adam Henrique.
PLAYER TRENDS
- Leon Draisaitl has 1+ assists in 7 of the Oilers’ last 8 games.
- Connor McDavid has scored in 7 of the Oilers’ last 8 playoff games as underdogs.
- Jason Robertson has 1+ assists in each of the Stars’ last 4 home games.
- Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has 1+ assists in 6 of the Oilers’ last 7 vs. Stars.
- Evan Bouchard has 1+ assists in 5 of the Oilers’ last 6 games.
