The top-seeded Dallas Stars are in the Western Conference Final after knocking out the last two Stanley Cup champions. One of those teams featured a pair of 100-point scorers. Now the Stars face the only other duo of 100-point regular-season scorers.

Dallas Stars center Matt Duchene, third from left, is congratulated after scoring the winning goal by, from left, right wing Evgenii Dadonov and centers Wyatt Johnston and Radek Faksa in the second overtime of Game 6 of an NHL hockey playoff series Friday, May 17, 2024, in Denver.

“You’ve got to know when they’re on the ice at all times ... managing the puck a little better, a little sharper, and trying not to give them free offense,” Stars forward Jason Robertson said. Stuart Skinner is 7-3 with a 2.87 GAA and .881 save percentage while starting 10 of the Oilers’ playoff games.“Ideally we’ve got Skinner running right through the end of the season,” Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. “Because, really, does a coach change his lineup after a win, especially the starting goalie.”Edmonton forward Adam Henrique returned to practice after missing the last five games with an ankle injury. He got hurt in the Game 5 first-round clincher against the Los Angeles Kings.

After being the NHL’s least-penalized team in the regular season at only 6.8 minutes per game, Dallas is even better in the playoffs at 5.2 per game.
