Edmonton Oilers Advance to Stanley Cup Final
McDavid's Heroics and Skinner's Stops Clinch Series Win
Game 6 Highlights and Post-Game Reaction
The Edmonton Oilers have punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars in Game 6 of the Western Conference Final. Led by the dynamic duo of Connor McDavid and Stuart Skinner, the Oilers overcame a resilient Stars squad to secure their first trip to the Finals in 18 years.
McDavid, who has been on a tear throughout the playoffs, continued his dominant performance by notching a goal and an assist in Game 6. His second-period goal tied the game at 1-1, while his assist on Zach Hyman's game-winner in double overtime sent Rogers Place into a frenzy.
Stuart Skinner was equally impressive between the pipes for the Oilers, making 34 saves to hold off a relentless Stars attack. The 24-year-old goaltender has been a revelation in the playoffs, posting a sparkling .925 save percentage and a 2.10 goals-against average.
The Oilers will now face either the Colorado Avalanche or the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final, which begins on June 15th. It will be Edmonton's first appearance in the Finals since 2006, when they were defeated by the Carolina Hurricanes in seven games.
