To tie the series at 2-2, Dallas needed Jake Oettinger to outplay Filip Gustavsson. Was that such a difficult hill to climb?
Yet coming into Game 4, Dallas’ beloved Otter had surrendered nine goals in regulation in three games. Gustavsson had allowed just three goals in nearly eight periods of hockey, so he sported a 1.18 goals against and .961 save percentage. For one night, though, the Stars got to him while- a slide-across-the-crease halting of Marcus Johansson with 10 seconds to play wrapping up the win.
Let’s focus on something more significant than the Stars have regained, and that’s the edge in net. Or at least the belief that their guy is as good or better than Minnesota‘s which is huge, given the rest of Dallas’ advantages in this series. Even without Joe Pavelski — an injury that has shaken this team more than it anticipated — the Stars have the better power-play unit and the superior penalty-killing squad.
