Oilers forward Zach Hyman feels like the Oilers probably played better in the opener of the Western Conference final than in the second game that they won.

Stars coach Pete DeBoer had a similar feeling about that game his team lost.

After those contrasting outcomes, the West final rematch is even going into Game 3 in Edmonton on Sunday afternoon.

“I don’t think I’ve ever played a playoff matinee game. Everybody’s in the same boat,” Hyman said. “We’ve got to come out strong. We’re at home. I’m sure the crowd will be excited. We’ll be ready.”

No overtimes were needed in the first two games in Dallas, where the high-scoring Oilers felt good about five of their six periods and showed again that they can indeed play defense. The Oilers have shutout wins in three of their last four games, including Stuart Skinner’s 25 saves in the 3-0 win over the Stars on Friday night after he blanked the Golden Knights in the final two games to wrap up the second round.

Even though it was the fourth time this postseason the Stars got shut out, they gave up a power-play goal less than 6 minutes into the game and the two Oilers goals just over a minute apart in the second period came off a blocked shot and then a tip at the front of the net.

“We had some looks, too, where (Skinner) made some saves,” DeBoer said.
