The Dallas Stars came roaring back from a 3-1 deficit with five third period goals en route to a 6-3 win in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final against the Edmonton Oilers.

Going into this season, only four teams had gone to three straight conference finals, and all four won it all at least once. Three — Tampa Bay, Chicago and Los Angeles — won two. The Stars are just trying to make the Final for the first time under Pete DeBoer. Feels like a tipping point. Stars in 7 games.

NHL GMs vote for the award after the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Dallas Stars have made the Western Conference Final for the third year in a row and feel they’re better than they were a year ago, when they lost to the Edmonton Oilers in six games.

Dallas, trailing by two goals to start the third period, earned a 6-3 victory to open the Western Conference final.
