Stars waited late to find out they get playoff rematch against the defending Stanley Cup champions
FRSICO, Texas (AP) — Tyler Seguin got sidetracked on his way to bed when he checked the scores from the two games on the West Coast that would determine who the Dallas Stars would face in the first round of the NHL playoffs.
“I went in the living room just to see what was going on,” Seguin said in the Stars locker room Friday.
Matt Duchene was watching as well from his home late Thursday night, and kept waking up his wife to tell her who the Stars would be playing. That changed a couple of times between the Las Vegas Golden Knights and Los Angeles Kings.
In the end, the top seed in the Western Conference wound up with a playoff rematch against defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas. The Golden Knights last year wrapped up the Western Conference Final with a Game 6 win in Dallas, where the first-round series opens Monday night.
About the same time the Knights’ 4-1 home loss to Anaheim ended Thursday night, the Kings were giving up a two-goal lead at home. Chicago scored three times in a five-minute span early in the third period and led until the Kings got even with 1:21 left in regulation — on a power-play goal with a 6-4 advantage after pulling their goalie for an extra attacker.
