In a dramatic Game 1 of the Western Conference Final, the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Dallas Stars 3-2 in double overtime. Connor McDavid, the Oilers' captain, scored the game-winning goal 32 seconds into the second overtime period. Earlier in the game, McDavid received a double minor penalty for high sticking Matt Duchene 17 seconds into the first overtime, but the Oilers successfully killed the penalty. Despite being robbed of a scoring opportunity in the first overtime, McDavid redeemed himself by redirecting a Bouchard shot for the decisive goal. The victory, a gritty road win in Big D, gives the Oilers a 1-0 series lead.
