DALLAS -- Connor McDavid scored 32 seconds into the second overtime, giving the Edmonton Oilers a 3-2 win against the Dallas Stars in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final at American Airlines Center on Thursday.

McDavid redirected a centering pass from Evan Bouchard past Jake Oettinger.

“It was nice to score in overtime. A big goal, great play by [Bouchard] as usual,” said McDavid, the Edmonton captain. “You’ve got to win tight games. We’re down to the final four teams. You don’t get to the final four without being a great team, so all four teams are solid. Dallas is a great team. It’s going to be tight hockey.”
