NHL Playoffs 2025: Stanley Cup schedule, bracket, scores, as Oilers take 2-1 series lead over Stars

The Edmonton Oilers made an advantage of the series 2-1 on the Dallas Stars in match 3 of the Western Conference Final Sunday, and did so dominantly with a 6-1 end in front of a crowd.

The oilers scored twice in a 36 -second period at the end of the first period and never looked back. It was Evan Bouchard first who put Edmonton ahead, and then Connor McDavid added. The stars briefly shortened Edmonton’s leadership to 2-1 before McDavid marked another late in the second and Zach Hyman added two goals of his own to turn what was once a competitive game into a explosion.

The Stuart Skinner of Edmonton was excellent on the net, stopping 33 of the 34 shots he faced, while Jake Oettinger de Dallas could stop only 18 of the 24 attempts that came out of him.

On the other side of the support, the Florida panthers are on the edge of advancing to their third consecutive end of the Stanley Cup. Florida mounted a third period of five goals to defeat the Hurricanes of Carolina, 6-2, in match 3 of the final of the Eastern Conference. The game was tied by 1-1 when the third period began before the Florida offense exploded with four different players who found the back of the network.

Panthers now contain an advantage of the 3-0 series and can complete the barrier at home on Monday night.
