A forward from the Finnish players in Dallas Joel Kiviranta (+/- 0) was the only one who got to taste the power points. Kiviranta scored the winning goal of the match in 50:35. The assist point was Kiviranta’s fourth of the playoff spring.
Stars’ canine was the three-pointer who scored two goals Ty Dellandrea, who scored the game-winning goal from Kiviranta’s set-up and nailed the 4-2 goal a minute and a half later. Prior to this game, Dellandrea had only scored one goal in this year’s playoffs.
For Dellandrea, who was on loan at JYP in 2020 and played a couple of games, the game was the first in his NHL career where the man scored more than one goal.
– Ty is one of the best guys I’ve played with. He deserved this. We’re all happy for him, the Dallas guard Jake Oettinger incensed the first star of the match.
Vegas led the match on two occasions, but Dallas always rose to the side and passed in the third period. It took Vegas to a 1–0 lead in the opening set Ivan Barbashevbut Luke Glendening equalized less than two minutes later. In the second set, the Golden Knights took a 2–1 lead Chandler Stephenson in 23:20, but again Stars quickly countered when Jason Robertson pushed the puck in in 25:29.
“Now our game is on”
Jake Oettinger, who made a few great saves in the Dallas goal, stopped the puck 27/29 times. Vegas goal Adin Hill made 30/34 saves.
– Now our game is going. The team was not happy with the situation we were in. The team decided to get up from the hole, the head coach of Dallas Pete DeBoer said.
Vegas captain Mark Stone did not hide his disappointment after the game.
– We haven’t performed our best in the last two games. However, we are still in a good position for a place in the finals. A little more effort and desperation, and we’ll get the job done, Stone said.
Although Dallas Roope Hintz (+1) was left without power points in the match, the Finnish star still leads the playoff points market with 10+14=24.
Four wins are required to win the series. The series will next break to Vegas early on Tuesday Finnish time in Dallas. Vegas or Dallas will meet in the final Alexander Barkov captained by the Florida Panthers.
The NHL final series starts in Las Vegas or Dallas early on Sunday, June 3 Finnish time.
