The Edmonton Oilers weren’t lacking in guys who made an impact on Sunday.

Zach Hyman had two goals and an assist, Connor McDavid also had a two-goal outing, and the Oilers took a 2-1 lead in their Western Conference final series with a 6-1 victory over the Dallas Stars.

Evan Bouchard, with a goal and an assist, and John Klingberg also scored for the Oilers, with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Evander Kane each chipping in with three assists.

“You have to have dominant nights, you have to have nights where maybe your goalie is better than theirs,” McDavid said. “You have to find ways to win different games different ways and we did again tonight.”

Stuart Skinner was impressive once again in the Edmonton net, making 33 saves to improve to 4-4 in post-season play, his first victory in the playoffs that wasn’t a shutout.

Zach Hyman speaks about his goalie after the Win.

Skinner, who struggled to start the post-season and was replaced by backup Calvin Pickard, only to be brought back in when Pickard was injured, admits he is pleased with how he has tackled the many challenges.
