If you want to have a chance at winning four best-of-seven series, your goaltender is almost required to be your best player.
That’s been the case for the Dallas Stars and Jake Oettinger, who return to their second consecutive Western Conference Final after conquering the past two Cup winners.
After watching Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard chase each other in and out of the net for the last two weeks, it’s hard to say the same for the Edmonton Oilers heading into Game 1 in Dallas on Thursday. The Oilers spend a lot of time on offense — so much so, that it helps prevent the frequency in which opposing teams gain entry into their zone.
I’ll give credit where it’s due: Edmonton has boosted itself to the No. 1 playoff team on both the power play and penalty kill. It ranked No. 15 overall on the kill in the regular season.
