Connor Brown scored after getting hit in the mouth by a skate, Stuart Skinner made 25 saves for his third shutout of the postseason and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Dallas Stars 3-0 in Game 2 on Friday night to even the Western Conference final.

The Dallas Stars fell into another early deficit against the Edmonton Oilers, but this time, they couldn’t pull off an impressive comeback. The Stars were shut out 3-0 in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals at American Airlines Center on Friday night.

In the world of heavy knee and shin pads, a slash normally doesn’t do enough damage to derail an NHL player; but the slash delivered by Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse in the third period to the lower left leg of Stars center Roope Hintz appeared to do the job of a mob hit.
