We are on to the NHL's conference finals, with the Carolina Hurricanes, Dallas Stars, Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers all advancing.
The Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers clash in Game 3 of their best-of-7, Western Conference Final NHL Playoff series Sunday at Rogers Place.
It was the third shutout for Stuart Skinner and the Oilers in their last four games, as the veteran netminder responded after struggling in Game 1. The Oilers are now a -164 favorite to win the best-of-seven series, and they’re sitting at -155 odds to take Game 3 at home Sunday afternoon.
On Friday, the NHL unveiled its finalists for the 2025 Jim Gregory Award, which is awarded to the general manager of the year.
Hellebuyck was a lot better against the Stars; he saved 4.8 goals above expected, fueled by strong performances in Games 2, 5, and 6, which brought his total playoff GSAx up to minus-5.0. He helped force a Game 6 and gave his team a chance in that elimination game.
