Dallas Stars not getting shut out on power play in this West final against Oilers

The Dallas Stars aren’t getting shut out on the power play in the Western Conference final against Edmonton this time.

It comes a year after going 0 for 14 in six playoff games against the Oilers. Miro Heiskanen scored the first power-play goal only 32 seconds into the third period. Mikael Granlund tied it 3, and Matt Duchene put the Stars ahead to stay.
