Oilers win semi-final opener in Dallas
The Edmonton Oilers celebrated a narrow victory in Dallas on Thursday to kick off the semi-final series in the North American Ice Hockey League (NHL).
The hero of the evening was Connor McDavid, who scored the decisive goal in the second overtime against the Dallas Stars to make it 3-2. After a goalless first overtime, the second overtime lasted just 32 seconds before he scored after a pass from Evan Bouchard.
It was the third play-off goal for the 27-year-old Canadian, who had already collected his 20th assist in the play-offs. Dallas had previously come back from 2:0 down. Tyler Seguin saved the home team with two goals in overtime. Dallas was initially able to play in overtime after McDavid was sent to the penalty box for two plus two minutes for a high stick.
Game two back in Dallas
The Texans have a chance for revenge in the Western Conference final on Sunday night. The second game of the "best of seven" series will also take place in Dallas.
