Seattle-Jjason Robertson scored his 33rd goal goal, Jake Oettinger ended with 34 salvages, and Dallas stars achieved a place in the playoffs with a 5-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday night.
For the fourth consecutive season, Dallas will compete for the Stanley Cup and now will sit four points behind Winnipeg for the best record of the conference.
Robertson’s goal approximately eight minutes in the first period tied the game with 1-1, then Roupe Hintz scored in the power game with remaining 1:36 until the second to put the stars ahead forever.
Mason Marchment added a goal of power in the third, part of an efficient night in which the stars recorded only 21 shots on the door, but maintained pressure on Kraken’s defenders.
The stars added two more goals in the last 20 minutes.
Seattle hit first at 1:27 of the first period with a goal by Eeli Opecvanen caused by the rotation near the blue line and James McCann found Tenz star star in the side of the network. The Kraken ended with 35 shots on the door.
Stars: Dallas has proven to be one of the best teams in the League since the first month of the season and on Saturday he provided more evidence. It is a team that is not striking and eliminates opponents.
Kraken: In a confrontation against one of the best in the league, Seattle did not shy away from contact by registering 17 hits and designing with 21 blocked shots.
A high beating call against Brandon Montour of Seattle 14 seconds in the third period became a goal of power of the march of Dallas, its 19 of the season.
Dallas, one of the best teams in the league as a percentage of confrontation victories, almost doubled Seattle on Saturday with an advantage of 55-44 percent in the clashes.
These two teams will meet again Monday night in Seattle.
