Oilers-Stars Game 1 takeaways, early look at Game 2

Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals between the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers was actually like two games in one.

The first 40 minutes belonged to the Oilers, who looked absolutely unstoppable. They built a 3-1 lead against an overwhelmed Stars team, whose only goal was on a Tyler Seguin breakaway.

Unfortunately for Edmonton, a playoffs-long trend continued for their penalty kill. It was torched for seven goals in the opening three games against the Los Angeles Kings. It gave up three goals in the first two games against Vegas.
