DALLAS -- Even though Connor McDavid scored another winning goal, the Edmonton Oilers provided another reminder that they have more than just their superstar captain.

Trusting every facet of their lineup, the Oilers overcame a four-minute penalty by McDavid in the first overtime and pulled out another one-goal victory Thursday night, beating the Dallas Stars 3-2 in double overtime in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals at American Airlines Center.

It was the Oilers' sixth one-goal win this postseason, and it came with plenty of drama.
