Dallas Stars defenceman Miro Heiskanen checks Tampa Bay Lightning's Brayden Point on top of Stars goalie Anton Khudobin during third period of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals. The Lightning won 3-2 on Sept. 21, 2020.The Tampa Bay Lightning rediscovered the zap in their power play, using it to burn the Dallas Stars 3-2 on Monday and even up the Stanley Cup final.
Point said the success was not a huge relief because they hadn’t been dwelling on the previous power-play power outages.“Tonight I thought we stuck with it. We were crisp on our passes and we had making some great plays.” Three minutes later, on a second power play, Kucherov, at the right faceoff circle, faked a one-timer shot off a Hedman pass, freezing Khudobin, and instead slap-passed it cross-seam to Palat, who had a wide open net and didn’t miss.Less than a minute after that, Tampa defenceman Kevin Shattenkirk scored on a blueline wrist shot through traffic that proved to be the game-winner.
Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 27-of-29 shots for his 15th victory of the playoffs, including the seeding round.Joe Pavelski and Mattias Janmark, with his first of the playoffs, replied for Dallas. Khudobin turned aside 28 shots in the loss. His post-season record drops to 13-7.“That’s where we lost the game today,” said Janmark.
Tampa Bay outshot Dallas 14-6 in the first period but was outshot 18-5 in the second frame as the Stars found renewed life.The Stars hit the scoreboard late in the period when a fluttering John Klingberg point shot was redirected in by Pavelski while he battled with defender Ryan McDonagh in front of Vasilevskiy.

Dallas Stars G Anton Khudobin stating his case for Conn Smythe Trophy - TSN.caThe Dallas Stars are three victories away thanks in large part to Anton Khudobin’s play in his first postseason as a starting goaltender at age 34. While the history of the chase for the Stanley Cup is full of hot goalies carrying teams through the playoffs, the guy affectionately known as “Dobby” is one of the unlikeliest heroes. I would be shocked if he didn’t win. He’s been stealing the games since the playoffs started.
