Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers have finally taken that big leap forward. Thanks to a nail-biting 2-1 home victory over the Dallas Stars on Sunday, Edmonton's two superstars are off to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in their careers.
The Oilers punched their ticket to hockey's biggest stage by beating the Stars in six games in the Western Conference finals, claiming the final three games of the series. "We always knew how good of a team we had in here and how tight this group is here," Draisaitl said."I can't stress it enough. It wasn't easy, wasn't an easy beginning to the year, but we all dug in and pulled ourselves out."
Marchment finally solved Skinner at 9:18 of the third period, but Dallas -- the conference's regular-season champion -- could not find the equalizer.
