The Edmonton Oilers were met with a familiar tune, though not in celebration of their victory.
During significant stretches of last night's game, especially in the opening period, the Edmonton Oilers showcased their finest form. Despite exiting the period locked in a 1-1 tie, they asserted dominance over the shot clock, outshooting their opponents 16-4. Goal scorers after the initial period included Connor Brown and Jamie Benn.
Following the Oilers' initial burst, their offensive output dwindled, managing just 13 shots for the remainder of the game. In contrast, the Dallas Stars seized control, launching 21 shots over the final two periods, ultimately securing a 3-1 victory.
Despite the Oilers' defeat, the Stars made an intriguing decision regarding the arena music after their triumph.
