The Dallas Stars made a quick goalie change after a disastrous start to Game 5 on Thursday night.
Jake Oettinger was pulled from the contest after Corey Perry and Mattias Janmark scored on the Edmonton Oilers' first two shots just seven minutes into Dallas' must-win matchup.
Oettinger appeared to be heading back into the net following a timeout after the second goal, but he was called back and went down the tunnel.

Casey DeSmith replaced his running mate in net, though he didn't fare much better. Jeff Skinner beat him for his first-ever playoff goal soon after DeSmith entered the game.
Edmonton holds a commanding 3-1 series lead in the Western Conference Final.
