It’s official! The Dallas Stars defeated the Seattle Kraken on Monday night in order to move on to the Western Conference Finals of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Stars will be taking on the Vegas Golden Knights for a chance at the Stanley Cup Finals birth.
After a scoreless first period, the Dallas Stars were the first team to score, only leading by one goal in the second period. After making it 2-0 a shut-out was in sight; however, Seattle could muster up just one goal with only seconds left to spare late in the third period.
Overall, a win’s a win, and although Dallas wasn’t able to shut out Seattle for a series win, they still prevailed after what started as a game that made Stars fans nothing but nervous and anxious.
