The number one center for the Dallas Stars Roope Hintz had a 2+1 performance when the Stars beat the Seattle Kraken in the NHL with a score of 5–2. Dallas took a 3–2 lead in the match series and is one win away from the finals of the Western Conference, where they would face Edmonton or Vegas.
19 year old striker Wyatt Johnston took Dallas to a 1–0 lead in 3:57. Hintz made it 2–0 in 5:35, when the defender Thomas Harley served the pass in a quick counterattack.
In the first minute of the second period, Dallas already ran away to 3–0. Joe Pavelski completed by Hintz and by Jason Robertson preliminary work.
Seattle, however, suffered during the second period at the end of the goal by Adam Larsson and Jared McCann’s with hits.
The third period had been played at 11:20, when Hintz put the puck into the net in front of the goal. The situation was confusing, as the referees of the match did not immediately notice that the puck had gone into the net. The game continued for twenty seconds until the buzzer sounded – Toronto’s situation room had time to check that the puck went through the net.
Dallas goaltender Jake Oettinger made 29 saves as Seattle’s official brother Philipp Grubauer stopped 16 pucks.
Seattle performed cheerfully in the playoffs Eeli Tolvanen got only 12.21 playing time this time and the power statistic came to -2.
About other Finns in Dallas Miro Heiskanen famously clocked the longest playing time of the match (25:59, +1). Esa Lindell played 20.27 and Jani Hakanpää 18.21. Hakanpää was on the sidelines from the previous game, but now returned to Lindell’s kit pair. The duo got a strong +3 in their power stat. Joel Kiviranta got playing time 13:44.
Hintz to the top of the points exchange
Edmonton’s German threat has been talked about throughout the playoffs Leon Draisaitl for an incredible finish. Draisaitl has scored 13+5=18 in ten games.
Hintz was now in power points next to Draisaitl at the top of the playoffs market: 8+10=18. Next on the list are Edmonton’s Connor McDavid (5+12=17), of Florida Matthew Tkachuk (5+11=16) and Edmonton Evan Bouchard (4+11=15).
Dallas star Joe Pavelski suffered a concussion in Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs against Minnesota. He returned to the ice in the Seattle series, and has hit 7+1 in five Seattle games.
Pavelski has scored 71 playoff goals in his career and is second all-time among active players on the all-time list Sidney Crosby with. It’s at the top Alexander Ovechkin.
Before the game played at Dallas’ home arena, a minute’s silence was observed due to the mass shooting that happened last weekend in Allen, Texas. Eight people died and seven were injured in the attack. Both teams wore “Allen Strong” decals on their helmets.
