Who’s one step closer to hoisting Lord Stanley? The Wrap-Around is your daily update for last nights’ NHL Playoff action.Stars Win 2-1, Keep Comeback Alive.
Statistically, Detroit controlled shots as they do most games. The Red Wings had 39 shots to Dallas' 21, and Detroit won 41 of the 61 faceoffs. Detroit's 10 giveaways to Dallas' 5 ended up hurting them. Marty Turco was fantastic again, making 38 of 39 saves, and he was apart of a winner for the first time in his NHL career at Joe Lewis Arena.
Dallas scored the first goal of the game halfway through the first period, as Trevor Daley scored his first of the postseason. Detroit would match before the period was over, as Jiri Hudler scored on a powerplay, making the game tied after one. In the second period, Joel Lundqvist scored (assist by Turco) what would end up being the game winning goal. Detroit would lead 25-11 in shots in the 2nd and 3rd periods, but they were unable to come up with a goal. With that, the Stars force a game 6, which will be back in Dallas on Monday Night.
