Robertson, the first 100-point scorer for Dallas in the regular season, had two goals and five assists. He hasn’t played since being injured in Game 4 on a late hit from Cale Makar that led to a one-game suspension.ĭallas had 10 different goal scorers against the Wild. Seattle’s goal scorers didn’t include Jared McCann, who led the team with a career-high 40 goals in the regular season. “That’s been the expectation of the players within the room, is that somebody different each night is going to have to chip in and gonna have to step up, and it probably will be a different guy.” “That’s been our formula throughout the year,” Hakstol said. Oliver Bjorkstrand became the final addition to that list scoring both of Seattle’s goals in the Game 7 win. The Kraken tied an NHL record with 15 different goal scorers against Colorado, becoming the fifth team ever to have that many goal scorers in an opening-round series. He stopped 94 shots the last three games against his former team. Philipp Grubauer was stellar with 33 saves in the series-clinching win that made the Kraken the first expansion team to beat the reigning Stanley Cup champs in their inaugural playoff series, according to NHL Stats. “What he’s seeing right now he is stopping,” Hakstol said. 945 save percentage and 1.83 goals-against-average in 15 career playoff games. Stars goalie Jake Oettinger, who had 64 saves in a Game 7 overtime loss in the first round of last year’s playoffs, stopped 82 of 85 shots as they won their last three games against Minnesota. So we’re getting a different team, and I would like to think we’re a different team.” It was different than when we played them at the end of the season. “They had to play a really solid game to beat the Stanley Cup champions, and you see that in their game. but you throw out the regular season come playoff time,” DeBoer said. The Stars won back-to-back games in Seattle, and the Kraken won 5-4 in OT at Dallas after Stars captain Jamie Benn tied the game with 0.7 seconds left in regulation. The road team won each time when Seattle and Dallas played their three regular-season games over an 11-day span in March. If that first line can continue to play the way they did against Minnesota then, I think, that allows us to be a deeper team with Pav on one of the other lines.” “If we can put Pav in a different spot, that makes us better. “I thought (Seguin) did an unbelievable job jumping in that spot,” Stars coach Pete DeBoer said.
