In Game 1 of the Western Conference Final, Connor McDavid scored the game-winning goal in the second overtime, stunning the Dallas crowd and top-seeded Stars. The play began with a strong forecheck by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who chipped the puck around the boards. It went directly to Evan Bouchard, who found McDavid alone in the slot. Bouchard immediately passed to McDavid, who redirected the puck into the net. This marked McDavid’s second career playoff goal and his first in the second overtime frame.
