Confirmed deal  :  The Dallas Stars look to get revenge against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday Afternoo The Dallas Stars look to get revenge against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday Afternoon

This game is more than about draining what oil they have left; it’s personal this year. The Stars will get their first rematch with them this afternoon after losing to the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference Finals last June. I bet the team had this date circled on the calendar as soon as the regular season schedule came out. Most of the Stars were in that series, and you could tell it hurt them to lose a second consecutive year in the Western Conference Finals.

The series loss caused Matt Duchene not to talk to anyone for two days after the regular season. I’m sure the Stars will be motivated by Thursday’s loss to the Washington Capitals. That was an abysmal performance, and I’m sure the Stars would like to turn things around this afternoon. I would love the Stars to show the Oilers that they have improved during the offseason and are much more physical now. Here are the three keys of the game this afternoon against the Oilers.
