Edmonton Oilers' won 3-1 over Stars to gain a lead

Edmonton's Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and his team secured a crucial 3-1 victory over the Dallas Stars in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final, taking a 3-2 series lead. Edmonton capitalized on their power-play chances, with Nugent-Hopkins scoring twice, once in each of the first two periods.

Captain Connor McDavid sounded positive about the team's performance.

“I thought right from start to finish we were dialed in. Everything. Details, a lot of things,” McDavid said.

Coach Kris Knoblauch praised goalie Stuart Skinner for the win.

“I think just the fact that Stu (Skinner) had so many big saves gave us a little bit of a cushion and made it look easier than it was for our team,” the coach said.

Stuart Skinner's 19 saves and Philip Broberg's goal were two of the main reasons for the win. The Oilers now aim for their first Stanley Cup Final since 2006, with Game 6 in Edmonton.
