Oilers slip past Stars 2-1, advance to Stanley Cup final

Connor McDavid had a goal and an assist as the Oilers punched their ticket to the championship series with a somewhat shaky 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Sunday, winning the best-of-seven Western Conference final in six games.

“First of all, he was unbelievable tonight,” McDavid said. “We’re not sitting up here talking about a win if it was not for him. We’re on a plane to Dallas if it wasn’t for Stu. “We’re just gutted,” said Stars head coach Pete DeBoer. “They did leave it all out there, we should be playing for a Game 7. Have to give Edmonton credit for their power play, in particular over the last two games was good. Their goaltending was good.

The Oilers power play struck for the fourth time in its last five attempts after failing to get a goal in the first four games. With 4:18 remaining in the opening frame, McDavid dropped a pass back to Hyman in an open lane and he picked the top corner for his playoff-leading 14th goal.
