Tampa Bay scored the game-winner on a power play thanks to a tripping penalty called against Jamie Benn. It was Shattenkirk’s third goal of the playoffs.

The Stars led 2-1 after the first period. John Klingberg and Joe Pavelski started with goals for Dallas. Brayden Point was able to get the Lightning on the board and cut the lead to just one goal.

In the second, Point struck again to nail the equalizer. Dallas’ Corey Perry put the Stars up again in the middle of the second period with his goal on the assists from Tyler Seguin and Mattias Janmark. Perry snapped a long goal drought and struck at a perfect time.
