Stars Slowly Succumb
Oilers 4 – Stars 1 (en x2) (SC SF 3-1 Edmonton) This was an exciting 2-1 game that was not decided until the very end, both teams combined for 26 SOG (more than some teams take in an entire game) in the first period that resulted in the home team taking a 1-0 advantage to the second period.
Although Edmonton scored first, the Stars answered in the second period with LW Robertson’s greasy snapper that eluded a blocking defenseman and goaltender Skinner to tie the game at one apiece seven minutes into the period.
Grizzled veteran RW Perry totally unmolested had the easiest tip-in playoff goal of his career to give Edmonton back the one goal lead that lasted until a few minutes remaining in the game when the Oilers scored two empty netters for the win and 3-1 series lead.

The loss of Zach Hyman for the rest of the playoffs will be felt but I believe the Oilers will end up in the win column in this series.
