In a dramatic comeback, the Dallas Stars defeated the Edmonton Oilers 6-3 in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final on Wednesday night. The Stars rallied from a two-goal deficit, scoring five unanswered goals in the third period.

The Oilers had built a 3-1 lead heading into the final frame, with goals from Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (power play), and Evan Bouchard. Tyler Seguin scored for Dallas in the first period to tie the game at 1-1, but Edmonton regained control in the second.

However, the third period belonged entirely to the Stars. Miro Heiskanen, Mikael Granlund, and Matt Duchene all scored power-play goals in a span of just 5:26 to give Dallas a 4-3 lead. Tyler Seguin added his second goal of the night, and Esa Lindell sealed the victory with an empty-netter.

The Stars' power play was particularly effective in the third period, converting on three consecutive opportunities. This stunning turnaround gives Dallas a 1-0 series lead heading into Game 2.

The Florida Panthers opened the Eastern Conference Final with a dominant 5-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh on Tuesday night. This marked Carolina's first home loss in six playoff games.

The Panthers established control early, scoring two first-period goals. Carter Verhaeghe opened the scoring on a power play, followed by Aaron Ekblad, who extended the lead to 2-0. While Sebastian Aho pulled one back for the Hurricanes late in the first, deflecting a shot past Sergei Bobrovsky, the Panthers continued to dictate play.

A.J. Greer restored Florida's two-goal lead in the second period, and Sam Bennett further solidified their advantage with a power-play goal in the third. Eetu Luostarinen added another goal for the Panthers before Jackson Blake scored a late power-play marker for Carolina, making it a 5-2 final.

Sergei Bobrovsky was stellar in net for Florida, making 31 saves, while Frederik Andersen stopped 15 shots for the Hurricanes. The Panthers' ability to score on the power play against Carolina's strong penalty kill, along with their offensive depth, were key storylines in their commanding Game 1 win.
