After a triumphant comeback win in Game 1, Dallas fell behind again in Game 2 but couldn’t find a way to rally in a 3-0 loss

Center Connor McDavid won nine of his 16 faceoffs and tallied one assist, one takeaway and a key shot block in the third period that helped seal the game. Defenseman Evan Bouchard chipped in with two assists and three blocked shots as the Oilers suffocated the Stars down the stretch.

Things are getting ugly in Game 2 between the Dallas Stars and the Edmonton Oilers, and not just on the scoreboard. With the Stars trailing the Oilers 3-0 in the third period on Friday, Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse added both insult and injury with a fairly blatant slashing penalty against Stars’ forward Roope Hintz.
