Dallas Stars defeat Edmonton Oilers 5-3, lead series 2-1. Robertson's hat trick leads the way. Game 4 Wednesday in Edmonton.

The Dallas Stars secured a crucial 5-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night, taking a 2-1 lead in the series. The upcoming Game 4 is set for Wednesday night in Edmonton.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks are on the brink of reaching the NBA Finals, potentially facing off against the Boston Celtics.

In the NHL, the Stars are just two wins away from making it to the Stanley Cup Finals, where they could potentially face the winner of the Florida Panthers and New York Rangers series.

The possibility of both the Stars and Mavericks making it to their respective Finals in 2024 is reminiscent of the Texas Rangers' unexpected World Series win in 2023.

The Stars came into the series as favorites, and on Monday night, they showed why. Despite a slow start, they managed to turn the game around, with top goal scorer Jason Robertson leading the charge. Robertson scored a hat trick, including a crucial game-winning goal in the third period.

Prior to Monday's game, Robertson had been struggling to find the back of the net, but his performance in Game 3 proved his importance to the team's success. Coach Pete DeBoer has emphasized the need for Robertson to step up as one of the team's top offensive players if they hope to win the Stanley Cup.

In playoff hockey, the margin for error is slim, and star players like Robertson must elevate their game to succeed. In Game 3 against Edmonton, the Stars' best players delivered when it mattered most, securing a pivotal victory in the series.
