After a thrilling Game 1 that needed double overtime to find the victor, it set the tone for what looked to be an interesting Western Conference Final between the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers .

Things got off on the right foot for Dallas, as it took only 3:39 for the Stars to get on the board. It was the captain, who threw the puck on net and then pounced on his own rebound to tie the game just 44 seconds later.Despite the two early goals, neither team got another goal in the first period, or even the second period.
But which team would regret it more? Well, it ended up being the Oilers, because 4:23 into the third period,eventually sealed the game with an empty net goal, and the Stars tied the series at 1-1 on the back of a 3-1 win.
