The Dallas Stars reeled off a whopping five unanswered goals in the third period of Wednesday's Western Conference Finals matchup against the Edmonton Oilers, erasing a 3-1 deficit to pull off a wild 6-3 victory.

The Stars did something seldom seen in a playoff game: score three power play goals in one period en route to a win.
