Dallas Stars a Stanley Cup Final match
Published:
NEW YORK. The Dallas Stars are a victory from the Stanley Cup final.
Russian goalkeeper Anton Khudobin was responsible for an unreal new effort last night and thus they managed to beat the favorite Vegas once again.
– Yes, he is dominating at the moment and was the best on the ice again, Swedish star John Klingberg tells Sportbladet after the 2-1 win.
It’s been a while since it last happened, but it really does look like a fiery goalie is stealing this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Vegas Golden Knight once again held a strong playing advantage in the fourth round of the conference final against Dallas, created a battery of refined opportunities and won shots 33-20. But they didn’t get more than one goal over Anton Khudobin. The 34-year-old Russian was just as unreal as he was in the last encounter, occasionally performing rescues that shouldn’t be possible.
– Our boxplay was also amazing, so we scored a goal ourselves in powerplay. It became crucial, says John Klingberg when contacted later,
– But of course, Khudobin is dominating at the moment and was the best on the ice again.
“It really only takes one game at a time”
The powerplay goal the Swedish star speaks of was scored by Jamie Benn one minute into the second half and became decisive in the match. John himself fired a shot of blue and the captain was able to push the return.
– It’s not by chance. Klingberg has excelled throughout this series and is always involved in crucial situations, expert commentator Pierre McGuire claimed on the NBC broadcast.
With the victory, the Dallas Stars have gained a 3-1 lead in the conference final and can hit the ball in the next game, the night before Tuesday, 02.00 Swedish time. In that case, they’ll be ready for the club’s first Stanley Cup final since 2000.
– But we also lead 3-1 against Colorado and it is only four, says “Burger”.
– We have to play better than we do right now and we really only play one game at a time.
Robin Lehner also protected the Knights’ area in Game 4, stopping 18 of 20 shots.
