Two best bets to place for Game 3 of the Western Conference Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars.

Hintz dropped to the ice and needed assistance to leave the rink without putting weight on his leg. The play was reviewed for a potential major penalty but resulted in a two-minute minor. According to Sportsnet's Mark Spector, the NHL will not issue any further discipline.

The Oilers beat the Dallas Stars 3-0 in Game 2 of the Western Conference final to tie the series at 1-1. While Edmonton blew a 3-1 lead in the third period of Game 1's 6-3 loss, the away team held on while being outshot 9-2 in the final frame of Game 2.

While the Stars’ side was peppered with postgame questions about the slash against Roope Hintz, the Oilers mostly took questions around the performance of goalie Stuart Skinner, who shut down 25 shots on goal from Dallas en route to his third shutout win in Edmonton’s last four games.
