Stars Can Oilers

Edmonton
Oilers

"Those are the goals I live for, that's what I'm supposed to do," Hull said. "Joe took the puck over the blue line and I yelled that there's three of us. I was just going to the net for a rebound, but he laid a nice pass back onto my stick and Salo leaned, giving me the far side."

Dallas knocked Edmonton out of the playoffs for the third year in the row.

"It seems like I've been playing the Oilers all my life," Nieuwendyk said. "They're a good, young team that pushed us once again. It was good to get out of here in five games."

The Oilers came back from one-goal deficits to tie the game twice before losing their 10th straight game at Reunion Arena.

"I've regretted very few things in my career, but one thing I do regret is how we played the first two games here in Dallas," Oilers Doug Weight said. "We played hard, but we didn't have the energy to support Tommy and beat a team like Dallas. I'm not saying that we would have won the series had we played differently in the first two games. But it would've been a different series."

"We've got to get better as a team and an organization because we've got a couple of years of not getting to the next level," coach Kevin Lowe said. "We need to tweak it here and there."
