Edmonton 1 @ Dallas 4

The Stars avenge a big loss.

The game started out just as intense as the Oil home game. This time the Stars were able to score first when Stoll was in the box for Obstruction. Miettinen was able to sneak by the defence and come in all along on the breakaway and deeked out Roloson... something they had a hard time doing the first game. Yes....Roloson IS human! Dallas was able to keep the pressure on and pot 2 more goals before the periods end.

Both teams played very good defence in the second to keep either team off the board.

Things turned around for the Oilers when Lupul rifled a shot from the circle to score the Oiler's first goal of the game. That goal gave the Oiler life as they pressed hard to get another. Turco played a solid game and keep pushing the pucks aside. The Stars were on their heels, knowing the Oiler squad was a good one and could come back at any time. Then with a few minutes left on the clock, Barns was able to let the Stars breathe a little easier when he got Roloson going the other way and slapped a shot from just over the blue line.

With the series tied 1-1, both teams are looking to meet in the playoffs and continue the old rivalry.
