The Dallas Stars fell into another early deficit against the Edmonton Oilers, but this time, they couldn’t pull off an impressive comeback. The Stars were shut out 3-0 in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals at American Airlines Center on Friday night.

In the world of heavy knee and shin pads, a slash normally doesn’t do enough damage to derail an NHL player; but the slash delivered by Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse in the third period to the lower left leg of Stars center Roope Hintz appeared to do the job of a mob hit.
