Gm 1: Oilers @ Stars 5/23 | NHL Highlights | 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs

here's Alex Petrovic playing his second playoff game with the Stars, now Bono walks up to Skinner who makes the save and made another rebound attempt from Jamie Ben behind him and here he comes trying to get the puck to settle and there's that stop. Jamie Ben, they both really made a kind of shot right on the Skinner and then that one over there is mcdavis defended by tanon who has been outstanding since he came in at the trade deadline hman with a shot and that's handled by three of the five. here he steps back for hinan hinan with a shot saved by skitter Puck is loose behind the net winning the race with steel here is Leon dradle with Holloway comes in with a shot deflected by AER Here comes Mar two on two with Peli with a shot and Skinner lo deviates H Steel has almost half a minute left in the period.

The power play continues, you back off and Skinner saves San. What a pass from Duchane. Sean didn't shoot this puck right away. he gets it here, waits, waits and then that allows Skinner to come out and know how he catches it, maybe between his left arm and his left hip. Yes, if it's a left handed shot, it's a unique opportunity, but because San right, he allows it or loads here with McDavid Dy Sidle on Hyman D Sidle off Hyman's stick now played by McDavid Cut away from duain M David knocked down behind the net kolach raises the shot is blocked scar tre what nothing the assistants was Essa Lindell makes the block and it goes straight to Leon, who settles dead, there is no doubt and all he has to do is simply throw those hands right into the back of the net and a one-nothing lead here for the Oilers and before that.

Tanv had the puck on his stick, it went right under his stick and finally that puck hits the spot and the bat bounces off the block now Jamie Ben, the Captain of the Stars, in front, great Save On londell by Skinner and now quickly back up the other. way is McDavid P his back M David Cross broken by Den Ben hman gets to the puck and scores Z hman with his 12 of the postseason two nothing Edington Square on the shoulder and then mcdavis stopped by tanov and then Hyman keeps it here B Lo What we see so often from Hyman is the competitiveness around the net, but again, when he had that puck on his stick, it goes high and he's not sure if AER was surprised that Heyman was hit by Hall and sent to the O .

No Frost Zone Skinner kept him away from San and now a free Jam B moving through the previous star Shen, found him on the line the last Edmonton has these Puck fans and kolac Jamie Beng goes right back and has no an angle to shoot the puck there is one, there are two and finally in the third B puts it in the open net Dallas needed this one, I mean, you give up the two goals to start the second period, it was quiet in this building, the right play Made by Skinner for his d-man, it's just simple, Brashard's pass was intercepted by Pavelski, brought down on the line by Buard.

Bard slides it through the bar shot from eold now the point with a backhand attempt and with the San puck stopped by Skinner bouncing. Puck the do off able to get it back out here is Lindell down the redirection stop by Skinner pass in front of Roose and the ERS Come out with the puck behind the dead is proof this series will lead the CC glove rebound attempt for Carrick that, but this initial shot by Cody CeCe thought he had it in his glove, comes out and EOL quickly forward for McDavid moves from the net, the save made by arer puck is loose and the Stars again get him out of trouble for a hinge stopped attempt it's still KN around comes Robertson behind Edmonson's net on the board shot by Petra's clock F getting ahead of that attempt H gets on the scoreboard standing in the second of the game with 323 left, a couple of them never made it to the net there is one blocked now this one by Robertson is blocked but it goes straight to Tyler San and he has an absolutely open net to the right of Steuart Skinner.

I don't even know if this initial shot was going into the net and the nurse decided to run away and block it, but without realizing it it was two goals each way, I mean, Edmonton scored a goal like that from the beginning, now moving forward, oh, arer game save up at two, backhand from Holloway, forehand off the right pad, what a stop at the top end. here is Robertson out for H now Johnston steps back behind there Robertson shoots to the left post behind Skinner and the play is returned back I think through the legs On the back side of Skinner he hits the post and comes back Check this out on the save and then P to the other side and look to see with the glove right here in the head area.

Oh my gosh, that's an F Stars 0 reversed for three tonight. The Orans have killed 17 in a row the most attractive their power play has ever had. all night so far here in overtime there is chicken for Roberts and he fires the PIP this power play is taking a very different tone than the three power plays we saw earlier in the game, one with traffic in front Robertson skating downhill and second consecutive barrier Puck deflected forward by McDavid so that Heyman H advances and arer's stop here comes McDavid now buard to the right it's hman's turn hman shoots M DAV W and stops somehow arer extends his goal it seems that McDavid He had a wide opening net and wait, he moves from his back can to his right and looks at the club right there.

I've never given up on that play either, but this is it Jay Ginger oh Johnson caught by E, here comes Newon Hopkins from Orleans to the corner with tff tff play the puck on the backboard here's Bard up front star Conor McDavid the redirect at the beginning of the second overtime the Edmonton Oilers win the first game 32 seconds into the fifth period what a play by Evan Bard for the Oilers and then behind here you see behind you have two

stars

behind, so they take advantage in the four on three, but looks at the effort on Newon Hopkins' P control and then Bardo, instead of putting the puck on the B wall, throws it right in front of the A clear look at Conor Mcdavis presents the strong stick and Edmonton wins the first game of the end of the conference.

Yeah, good read by Bard, anticipating the puck was going to go up the wall, got down there and like you mentioned, Edzo, the smart play.
