Stars need more production from their stars to avoid elimination against the Oilers
Mikko Rantanen and Mikael Granlund scored seven of the Dallas Stars' 13 goals in the second round to move on to the Western Conference final against the Edmonton Oilers, yet that lopsided production was also a red flag. Three-time Stanley Cup champion Ken Daneyko before the series started figured that needed to change. 'They do have more of a game-breaker with Mikko Rantanen,' Daneyko said. 'But the Johnstons and Dadonovs and the Duchenes and Seguin and Benn — whoever — these guys are going to have score some big goals or make a few big plays to beat the Oilers and the depth they have.' While Tyler Seguin has scored twice, Wyatt Johnston, Evgenii Dadonov, Matt Duchene and Jamie Benn have one goal between them, and now the Stars find themselves down two games to one in the best-of-seven series. They went nearly 100 minutes without scoring on Edmonton's Stuart Skinner from Games 1 through 3 and went another 24 minutes without a goal on the way to a 6-1 loss Sunday. With the status of injured center Roope Hintz uncertain after getting slashed in the left foot/ankle by Darnell Nurse in Game 2 badly enough that he was out Sunday and with Rantanen's playoff-opening magic seemingly wearing off, Dallas needs more offense from its top players to avoid getting pushed to the brink of elimination. 'Five on five we've got to find a way to finish our chances a little bit more,' Rantanen told reporters in Edmonton. 'Obviously Skinner is making good saves, but we've got to make life harder for him.' Skinner has stopped 80 of the 86 shots he has faced, but he's not the only netminder to stymie the Stars away from home this postseason. Connor Hellebuyck blanked them in Game 5 last round in Winnipeg, and their scoreless streak on the road lasted a franchise-worst 178:57 before Jason Robertson scored their lone goal Sunday. The impatience is building. 'It's something that's tough when you get so many chances,' said Rantanen, who's tied for the playoff lead in goals with nine but none so far against the Oilers. 'It's frustrating, and it's something that it's hard to not let the frustration come, but we've got to do our best to not let it come to our minds.' Coach Peter DeBoer, in the West final for a sixth time in seven years and aiming to reach the Cup final with a third different NHL team, does not sound frustrated. 'There's good signs in our game,' DeBoer said in his post-Game 5 news conference. 'If we can keep bringing that game to the rink, I like our chances of coming back in this series.' Robertson scoring his first goal of the playoffs is one of the reasons for optimism. He missed the entire first round against Colorado with injury and is only now starting to look like his regular-season point-a-game self. DeBoer called Game 5 Robertson's best since returning. 'There's no doubt he's been a step behind since he came back in,' DeBoer said. 'We need him. We need that scoring out of him. We haven't had it.' Even without depth scoring, Dallas is right there in the series thanks to a barrage of three power-play goals in 5 1/2 minutes in the third period of Game 1. The Oilers have been the better team at 5 on 5 for long stretches, but the Stars have not wilted under pressure. 'A great trait to have: they can be outplayed, but they're opportunistic,' said Daneyko, now an NHL Network analyst. 'They win games when they're outplayed. You have to be able to do that in the playoffs.' And sometimes win away from home, too, which is easier said than done given the crazed crowd in Edmonton. 'We still have an opportunity to try to at least get one on the road,' Robertson said. 'We know what we have to do. A lot of veterans in this locker room, and they're going to be up to the challenge on Tuesday.' Hintz could return after taking part in an optional practice Monday, with DeBoer saying the 28-year-old Finn will take warmups to determine if he can play. ___ AP NHL playoffs: and

Stars Fall Flat For Second Straight Game. Oilers Take 2-1 Series Lead
The Dallas Stars came into Sunday's Game 3 contest coming off an abysmal performance in Game 2 that saw them suffer a shutout loss on their home ice. Things would not get easier for them as they attempted to balance bouncing back, and the hostile environment in Edmonton. No Further Discipline on Play Leading to Stars Forward Injury The Dallas Stars dropped Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals at home, but the 3-0 loss was not the biggest blow the Stars suffered. The Dallas Stars got outplayed in what was a very underwhelming performance on Friday night, ultimately dropping Game 2, 3-0. With the series tied and heading to Alberta, the Stars would be sure to bring their best game on Sunday afternoon. In the first 14 minutes of Sunday's game, it looked like the Stars set a good foundation to begin the game and would be able to keep pace with Edmonton. That would change quickly when the Oilers would receive production from Evan Bouchard and Connor McDavid. Stars Look to Spark Some Offense and Take Series Lead in Edmonton The Dallas Stars are in Edmonton for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. The first game in Alberta is a matinee game, which makes a quick turn around for both teams. Dallas would come back in the second period swinging with a goal from Jason Robertson, while outshooting the Oilers 21-7. Connor McDavid would notch another goal to put the game within two. The game would ultimately slip out of the Stars's grasp, with the Oilers pulling away in the third period en route to a 6-1 victory, taking a 2-1 series lead. Tyler Seguin Can Play Role Of Spark Plug To Counter Edmonton Stars The Dallas Stars currently find themselves ahead after the Western Conference Final kicked off on Wednesday night. The Stars came out of the gates of their series guns blazing as they out played the Edmonton Oilers, 6-3. Dallas not held Edmonton's stars in check, they also received help from one of their own, Tyler Seguin. Coming into Wednesday's Game 1 matchup, Seguin was riding an 11-game scoreless streak that he broke with a pair en route to victory. While the Stars did his the numbers in the box score, it was what they did, and didn't do that came back to hurt them. Their last two losses have been full of poor possessions, and a consistent physical game. Where else the Stars have fallen short has been in protecting their net. One could easily see in any of the last nine goals Dallas has given up that they have allowed easy penetration into the slot, and have made the crease a very accessible area for the Oilers. Three Special Teams Takeaways From Stars 6-3 Game One Win The Dallas Stars came roaring back from a 3-1 deficit with five third period goals en route to a 6-3 win in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final against the Edmonton Oilers. If Dallas hopes to get back in the series, they will also need to establish who they feel should be the prime scorer. While Mikko Rantanen has put up phenomenal numbers in the playoffs, the Finnish forward has cooled off in recent games. Jason Robertson was the top scorer during the regular season, but has largely been a non factor throughout the postseason. While injury is a large reasoning for that, the playoffs or where a team needs their top scorers to come up big. Follow more of Adam's work on X: denkyd8nk
