    Game Recap – 10/8/2019 – Dallas Stars v. Washington Capitals

    Dallas Stars (0-3-0 0pts) v. Washington Capitals (2-0-1 5pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    Coming into tonight’s game the Washington Capitals look to get back to their winning ways as they host an injury depleted Dallas Stars team that is still looking for their first win of the season. The Capitals would also be getting back superstar forward Evgeny Kuznetsov, who would score the first goal of the game to give the Capitals the 1-0 lead a little under five minutes into the game. Both teams would trade powerplay opportunites, but neither team would capitalize thus keeping the Capitals 1-0 lead intact going into the first intermission

     

    In the second period it would be the Stars responding early as Roope Hintz would score his fourth of the season two minutes into the period to tie the game at one a piece. However, after another failed powerplay opportunity the Capitals would regain the lead when John Carlson would get a knuckler through the seven hole on Bishop to give the Capitals the 2-1 lead. The Capitals would get a late powerplay, but were unable to capitalize before time expired in the period.

     

    In the third period the Stars would dominate the Capitals during the first half of the period and would score as a result when Alexander Radulov would deflect an Esa Lindell shot past Braden Holtby to tie the game at two. Then about six minutes later Nick Caamano would push the puck past Holtby to give the Stars their first lead of the game at 3-2. With 30 seconds left in the period with Holtby pulled Nicklas Backstrom would tap in a loose puck in the crease to tie the game at three and send the game into overtime. However, 43 seconds into overtime the Stars would clinch their first victory of the 2019-20 season as Tyler Seguin would score to make it a 4-3 victory for the Stars.

    Round 2 Game 6 – St. Louis Blues v. Dallas Stars

    St. Louis Blues v. Dallas Stars

    Game 6 – DAL Leads 3-2

     

    Game Recap:

    Heading into Dallas for Game 6 the Stars look to close out the St. Louis Bluesat home, but it would be the Blues controlling the play off the opening faceoff as they would get the Dallas crowd out of it early as Alex Pietrangelo would score 63 seconds into the game for an early 1-0 lead. The Blues would continue to control the play, but the Stars gain some momentum after killing the first powerplay of the game for the Blues and would result in them forcing a powerplay of their own which would see Tyler Seguin tap in the loose puck over the goal line to tie the game at one.

     

    In the second period both the Stars and the Blues would play a tightly contested chess match against eachother, but it would be the Blues breaking the tie as Oskar Sundqvist would fees David Perron in front of the net for a redirect into the net to make it 2-1 for the Blues going into the second intermission.

     

    Going into the third period the Blues would go back to how they played in the first period as the Blues would score two goals 33 seconds apart. First it would be Jaden Schwartz redirecting an Alexander Steen shot on net after Colton Parayko injured Ben Bishop with a really hard point shot. Then Sammy Blais would score his first career playoff goal while on a 2 on 0 that would chase Bishop out of the net and bring in Anton Khudobin as the Blues increase their lead to 4-1. The Blues would hold on and force Game 7 on Tuesday night.

    Round 2 – St. Louis Blues v. Dallas Stars – Game 3 Recap

    St. Louis Blues v. Dallas Stars

    Series Tied 1-1

     

    Game Recap (Provided by @aew328123 Aryan):

    The St. Louis Blues came out with a much faster start than in Game 2, with Jaden Schwartz opening the scoring. While Alexander Radulov was able to tie the game at 1 for the Dallas Stars on a great play on the power play, the Blues seemed like they were in control of the game.

     

    The second period brought more of the same, but the tide seemed to be tilting in Dallas’s favor, but the Blues’ third line had an amazing shift, with great plays by Vince Dunn and Robert Thomas to set up an easy tap in for Tyler Bozak.

     

    The fireworks really started in the third, with teams trading quick goals. Andrew Cogliano scored to tie the game at 2, but Alex Pietrangelo followed that up with another goal to give the Blues a late 3-2 lead. However, Alex giveth, Alex taketh away as a poor clearing attempt directly set up Dallas’s third goal. Fortunately Pat Maroon knocked down featherweight Esa Lindell, and sniped the game winning goal. Game 4 is slated for Wednesday at 930 PM eastern in Dallas.

    Gameday Recap: Nashville Predators vs. Dallas Stars (First Round: Game 3)

    Nashville Predators at Dallas Stars
    Series Tied 1-1

    Game Recap:

    In Game 3 of this match, the first period would be a fast-paced period both teams going on the power play.  There would be a lot of puck possession between both squads and there would be a lot of excellent chances for the teams to score.  Both teams would lay out their fair share of hits in the contest, with the Stars having 20 hits in the first period to Nashville’s 10.

    In the second period, Rocco Grimaldi would get his second goal in the series when the puck would bounce off of Dallas goaltender Ben Bishop at the 3:29 mark.  Dallas would get a few chances to tie the score in the next couple of minutes after Grimaldi’s goal but Rinne would stop those shots with great saves.  Nashville would then kill off a 5 on 3 penalty, with the Stars getting several chances at the net.  Possession would then swing back Nashville’s way before they would turn over the puck to the Stars who would then hold on before an offsides call was made midway through the period.  Filip Forsberg would make the contest 2-0 Nashville with 5:25 left in the period.  After a great set-up play, Mats Zuccarello would get the Stars on the board with under 3 minutes to play in the period, and the goal would inject some life into the Stars bench.  Austin Watson would be called for a  tripping penalty with 25 seconds remaining in the period, giving the Stars a chance to tie the game with an extra man when they have 1:35 left on the power play going into the third period.

    Going into the third period, Nashville would be successful in killing off the penalty and Nashville would get some chances to get a comfortable lead.  The period would have the puck go back and forth until Dallas would score at the 8:15 mark in the period with Tyler Seguin getting the goal to tie the game a 2.  Nashville would get the lead back after a faceoff and the puck would bounce off of Dallas D Miro Heiskanen’s stick at the 11:41 mark in the period and Nashville Mikhail Granlund would be awarded the goal.  Dallas would get several chances in the front of the net, however, Pekka Rinne would makes several saves after the hacks and whacks at the net.  Dallas would pull Ben Bishop with 2:11 left in the contest to add six attackers to try and tie the score but it would not help out and Nashville would escape with a Game 3 win, and the 2-1 series lead.

    Washington Capitals (24-12-3 51pts) v. Dallas Stars (21-16-4 46pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    The Washington Capitals opened up this game with a lot more jump in their stride as they would take the momentum of this game early. However, a Matt Niskanen penalty less than six minutes into the game would allow the Dallas Stars to swing the momentum their way, but the Capitals would successfully kill off the penalty. After some more faced paced action between the two teams, Alex Ovechkin would take an ill advised boarding penalty which would allow the Stars to get on the board during the powerplay as Tyler Seguin netted his 14th of the season. After the Stars took the lead, the Capitals started to look very sluggish, especially in their own zone. The Capitals would be out shot 14-5 in the first period, as well as dominated in the faceoff circle 11-6 by the Stars.

    In the second period, the Capitals would get their first powerplay opportunity as Roman Polak would be called interference, but the Capitals would not be very effective with the extra attacker on this one as they only registered one shot on goal. However, after the powerplay ended the Capitals would maintain zone time, and create pressure on the Stars in their own zone. With this pressure and built up the momentum the Capitals would get a goal from Lars Eller off of a backhand shot that Anton Khudobin never saw due to the screen by Andre Burakovsky. Then off of coincidental minors to Alexander Radulov and Michal Kempny both teams would generate some scoring chances, but neither would be able to capitalize on them during the 4 on 4. With less than 5 minutes left in the period Eller would be called for high sticking, but the Capitals would play spectacularly on this penalty kill that even saw some great offense generated by Tom Wilson and Chandler Stephenson. In the second period this was a much better period for the Capitals as they out shot the Stars 15-8, were skating better, and generating much better scoring opportunities. However, the Stars are still dominating the Capitals in the faceoff circle.

    Midway through the 3rd period after a lot of back and forth between the two teams, the Capitals would get a powerplay opportunity when Erik Condra would be called for hooking. On the powerplay the Capitals mixed it up a bit and got three shots on goal, including two by Ovechkin on different looks. After a lot of great pressure inside the Stars zone, Matt Niskanen would draw a penalty as Brett Ritchie would be called for slashing to give the Capitals their second powerplay of the period. While the Capitals did not convert on this powerplay, they would continue the push after the penalty expired and create a really great scoring chance that Khudobin would rob them on. After no goals being scored in third, which saw the Capitals dominate the Stars in the shot department 14-2, this game would head to overtime.

    After a very close back and forth overtime period it would be Radulov protecting the puck extremely well while wrapping around the net to find an open Seguin for the game winning goal in overtime. The Capitals will walk out with one point and be tied with the Pittsburgh Penguins for first place in the Metropolitan Division. Also hats of to both goalies as Khudobin and Pheonix Copley both played spectacularly for their teams.
