Jason Robertson scored on a power-play after Tyler Seguin took a shot to the face, Jake Oettinger had another flawless finish and the Dallas Stars finally got a home win in these NHL playoffs. Robertson's goal late in the second period put the Stars ahead to stay and they beat the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2 in Game 5 on Wednesday night. “The resilience ... I think it's great how we've been able to battle back,” said Wyatt Johnston, the 20-year-old forward who had two assists. Evgenii Dadonov and Matt Duchene also scored for the Stars, who have won three in a row after dropping the first two games at home last week as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
Colorado goaltender Alexandar Georgiev went home after a recent shaky outing and immediately watched film — the car-racing thriller “The Fast and the Furious.” There are quite a few teams going into the postseason with big decisions in net.
As a result, Dallas has clinched the top spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the Western Conference. Oettinger saved 25 of the 26 shots he faced in the win over St. Louis. The Blues had the Stars puck-stopper out of position, a yawning cage waiting to be scored on.
