The Dallas Stars are one step closer to playing for the StanleyCup after defeating the Seattle Kraken in Game 7.
Stars goalie Jake Oettinger, who was pulled in Game 6, made 22 saves to improve to 5-0 after a loss this postseason. He allowed only Oliver Bjorkstrand's goal with 18 seconds left.They head to the conference final for the first time the 2020 bubble, when they lost in the Stanley Cup Final. It's a reunion for DeBoer, who improved to 7-0 in Game 7s on Monday. He had taken Vegas to the conference finals in 2020 and 2021 but was fired after missing the playoffs last season.
The Stars can throw a lot of offense at the top-seeded Golden Knights. Hintz is the top remaining playoff scorer with 19 points. Jason Robertson, Joe Pavelski , trade deadline acquisition Max Domi and captain Jamie Benn also have double-digit points. Tyler Seguin, Evgenii Dadonov and big-minutes defenseman Miro Heiskanen are close with nine points. Every Stars skater has at least one point.
The Golden Knights, led by Jack Eichel and Mark Stone, average 3.73 goals per game, compared to the Stars' 3.62, but Dallas has a decided edge in special teams.The second-year franchise should remain contenders after a 40-point improvement from their inaugural season. There aren’t a lot of contracts to negotiate. Ryan Donato, who scored the franchise’s first goal, is an unrestricted free agent. So are backup goalie Martin Jones and defenseman Carson Soucy.
The Kraken managed to knock off the Avalanche despite missing Jared McCann and Andre Burakovsky. Their balanced scoring makes them a threat.
