Roope Hintz scored a pair of goals and had an assist, and Joe Pavelski scored his seventh goal of the series for the Dallas Stars as they earned a 5-2 victory over the Seattle Kraken in Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. FOX13
Pavelski scored just 35 seconds into the second period to give Dallas a 3-0 lead. Adam Larsson and Jared McCann each scored goals in the second period to cut into the Dallas advantage, but Hintz added an insurance goal with just under nine minutes left to play and Radek Faksa added an empty net goal as the Stars put the Kraken on the brink of elimination.
"I liked the way that we fought back," Eberle added. "We gave another one at the start of the second and, you know, for the most part we fought back, but we just got to find a way to limit those mistakes. I mean, obviously, you give them odd-man rushes, you give them looks like that, you know, they're a good team, they get a lot offensive players, they're going to score. That's the frustrating part.
Just 88 seconds later, the Stars created a 3-on-2 rush chance with Hintz snapping a wrist shot from the top of the left circle through the legs of Borgen and over the glove of Grubauer for a 2-0 advantage. Pavelski followed his own shot for a rebound that he chipped past Grubauer to make it a three-goal deficit inside the opening minute of the second period.
But less than a minute after the power play came to an end, McCann found the net for the first time this postseason. McCann fired a shot from atop the right circle that deflected off the skate of Dallas defenseman Joel Hanley right in front of the net and slipped inside the right post to cut make it a one-goal game.
Jason Robertson moved the puck in front of the net from behind the goal line and Hintz controlled the puck around a poke check attempt by Grubauer and roofed the puck in the top left corner of the goal for a 4-2 lead.
