The Western Conference Finals roll into Edmonton with the series knotted at 1-1 as the Dallas Stars (50-26-6) visit the Edmonton Oilers (48-29-5) in Game 3. Puck drops at 3:00 p.m. ET at Rogers Place, live on ABC.
After splitting the first two games in Dallas, the Oilers return home looking to build on a dominant 3-0 shutout in Game 2. Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid were their usual elite selves, while goaltender Stuart Skinner kept the Stars off the board with confidence. Dallas, meanwhile, will need more offensive punch from key names like Matt Duchene and Miro Heiskanen to avoid falling behind in the series.
