Oilers Take 2-1 Western Final Lead with McDavid Two-Goal Game

In Game 3 of the Western Conference Final, the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Dallas Stars 6-1 to take a 2-1 lead in the series, powered by standout performances from Connor McDavid and goaltender Stuart Skinner. McDavid scored two goals, including the game-winner early in the first period and a crucial goal late in the second, while also contributing significantly to the team's overall momentum. Zach Hyman added two insurance goals in the third period, and John Klingberg scored a late power-play goal to cap the scoring. Skinner made 36 saves, frustrating the Stars' offense and proving pivotal in the victory despite allowing one goal. The Stars, missing Roope Hintz due to injury, generated offensive chances but were repeatedly stymied by Skinner's key saves. With this win, the Oilers aim to push their advantage further in Game 4 and move closer to the Stanley Cup Final.
