Three Stars
1. Connor McDavid, Oilers: Three goals, his speed had Stars in a tizzy.
2. Cam Talbot, Oilers: Thirty-one saves, and frustrated Stars early in the game.
3. Jesse Puljujarvi, Oilers : Helped get McDavid going with two assists.
Big Play
Edmonton's Zack Kassian took a hooking penalty on Radek Faksa and then took an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty when he was complaining to the ref. Dallas scored twice on the ensuing four-minute power play to get back into the game. Stars coach Lindy Ruff made smart use of his timeout to keep his first power play unit on the ice, and Dallas scored five seconds after they returned from the timeout.
