After 15 seasons in the NHL, Jeff Skinner had still never scored a playoff goal.
That changed in Edmonton’s Game 5 6-3 win over the Dallas Stars, sending the Oilers to their second consecutive Stanley Cup Finals.
Skinner signed with Edmonton in the off-season after long runs in Carolina and Buffalo.
Like the Oilers, who started in 0-3, Jeff had a slow beginning and was demoted from the top six, so the play-off goal was extra rewarding.
Series MVP Connor McDavid also scored and had an assist and then broke superstition by lifting the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl.
The Oilers did not touch the Western Conference championship trophy a season ago, but lost to the Panthers in the finals.
Edmonton, who outscored Dallas 19–5 in Games 2-5, clinched their return one game after losing forward Zach Hyman to a season-ending surgery.
