In Dallas for Game 2, the Stars look to keep their momentum rolling against the Edmonton Oilers, but in the first period, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins would strike while on the powerplay to give the Oilers the 1-0 lead. Then in the second period Brett Kulak and Connor Brown would score to give the Oilers the 3-0 victory over the Stars. Stuart Skinner stopped all 25 shots faced to earn the shutout and help the Oilers tie the series at one.
