The Dallas Stars resumed their second-round playoff series, and the Frisco RoughRiders continued a six-game set in Midland. Here is what happened on the ice, on the field, and behind the scenes.
NHL
Dallas Stars (series tied 1-1)
Last Game: Stars 4, Seattle Kraken 2
The Stars scored three goals in the second period, and Tyler Seguin added one off a tip in the third to secure a series-tying win before heading to Seattle for games three and four. Seattle threatened late with their goalie pulled but did not find the back of the net.
Noteworthy: Joe Pavelski scored his fifth goal in the last two games on a rebound in the second period, becoming the second player to accomplish the feat after age 35 and the second active player to do it in the first two games of a series. His 69 career playoff goals trail only Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby among active players.
Wyatt Johnston’s goal made him the first rookie of the 2023 Playoffs to score multiple goals in the postseason. He is the fifth Stars rookie to do so.
Next Up: Stars at Kraken, Game 3, 8:30 p.m. CT Sunday
