Oilers Score Five in Victory
Edmonton 5 – Dallas 2 en (Semifinals tied 2-2) The Stars scored early and quickly as they built the dreaded “two-goal” lead and were up 2-0 less than six minutes into the game.
Edmonton was fortunate their first goal was not called back for goaltender interference as Oilers’ Mr. Nurse used his stick to steer/throw a Stars player by his sweater into and on top of Dallas netminder Oettinger before another Oilers put the puck into the gaping unprotected net.
Edmonton scored legitimately to tie the score at two a few minutes before the first period ended, in the second period Edmonton scorched Dallas with a short-handed and even strength goal to take the 4-2 lead after two periods of play.
Less than two minutes remaining in the game and the Oilers score an empty netter, earn the win and a tied series making this a three-game series heading back to Texas.
