The Dallas Stars are on the brink of advancing to the Western Conference Final after a thrilling Game 6 victory over the Seattle Kraken. The Stars now lead the series 3-2 and have a chance to eliminate the Kraken in Game 7.
The Stars got off to a fast start in Game 6, scoring two goals in the first period. The Kraken fought back in the second period, scoring two goals of their own to tie the game. However, the Stars regained the lead in the third period and held on for the win.
The Stars have been led by their top line of Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn, and Alexander Radulov throughout the playoffs. They have combined for 22 points in 10 games and have been a dominant force on the ice.
The Kraken, on the other hand, have struggled to find consistent scoring throughout the series. Their top line of Jordan Eberle, Jared McCann, and Jaden Schwartz has only combined for 11 points in 10 games.
If the Stars can win Game 7, they will advance to the Western Conference Final for the first time since 2008. They will face either the Colorado Avalanche or the Vegas Golden Knights in that series.
The Stars have been a resilient team throughout the playoffs, winning two Game 7s already. They will need to continue that resilience if they want to advance to the Stanley Cup Final.
The Kraken, on the other hand, are playing in their first-ever playoff series. They have shown that they can compete with the best teams in the league, but they will need to find a way to score more goals if they want to stay alive in this series.
Overall, this has been an exciting and competitive series between two talented teams. Game 7 promises to be another thrilling matchup, with both teams fighting for their playoff lives. The winner will move on to the Western Conference Final, while the loser will go home for the summer.
