After faking a centering pass, Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson jammed the puck past Edmonton Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner for his third goal and the eventual game-winner Monday night.
Following a dominating first period by the Edmonton Oilers, the Stars rebounded with three second-period goals during a three-plus minute stretch to help secure a 5-3 victory at Rogers Arena. The victory handed the Stars a 2-1 series advantage in the NHL Western Conference finals. Game 4 is Wednesday in Edmonton.
