West Final Feels Different With Stars Home for G6 After Losing 1st 3 to Vegas
U.S. News & World Report DALLAS (AP) Jason Robertson is frequently scoring goals again for the Dallas Stars, Jake Oettinger is stopping shots and captain Jamie Benn is about to return from a two-game suspension.
The Western Conference Final isn't over yet, and suddenly feels much different.
After the Vegas Golden Knights won the first three games, the Stars staved off elimination two games in a row in these NHL playoffs. They are now back home for Game 6 on Monday night, looking to do it again and force a Game 7 to determine who faces waiting Florida Panthers for the Stanley Cup.
We put ourselves in a really tough spot, and to get to this point right now, it shows you the character that we have in our room and the belief we have," said Oettinger, who has stopped 64 of 68 shots since allowing three goals on five shots in the first 7:10 and getting pulled from Game 3. Even being down 3-0, the series was far from over. Weve done our job up to this point, but unfortunately for us, our backs are still against the wall."
