On NHL Stanley Cup Western Conference Finals podcast with Mary Lisa:

#1 The Edmonton Oilers Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored two power play goals to lead the Oilers to a 3-1 win over the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Arena in Dallas on Friday night in game 5 of the NHL Stanley Cup Western Conference Finals. The Oilers now take a 3-2 lead in the best of seven series.

On the NHL Stanley Cup Western Conference podcast with Troy Ewers:

#1 The Dallas Stars Mason Marchment scored the go ahead goal to help defeat the Edmonton Oilers 3-1 to even the third round of the series 1-1.

#2 Marchment was playing this game 2 as if it were game 7 it was after what Stars head coach Peter DeBoer put in the mindset of the Stars after they played to a 1-1 tie in the first period which DeBoer said was tentative. He suggested that the Stars play this game as if were a game 7.

#3 The Stars did rise to the occasion and scored two goals in the third period including the Marchment go ahead goal as the Stars won it by the two goals that were scored in the third period 3-1.

#4 Troy the Oilers were able to score only one goal that was in the first period scored by Cody Ceci and basically were shutdown offensively by the Stars for the rest of the game some of the credit for that goes to the Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger who stopped 28 of 29 shots.

#5 Troy series tied 1-1 as game 3 will go back to Scotiabank Arena in Edmonton on Monday night for a 5:30pm PT puck drop. Crucial game for the Oilers they need to step up their offense and crash the net and work past Oettinger. The Stars who are on the road for this one could have their hands full with Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid to defend against. Either way this is expected to be a close tight hockey game.
