Game 2 is Friday night in Dallas.

Heiskanen and Duchene scored this postseason for the first time.
It was only the fourth game for Heiskanen since he lost the last 32 regular seasonal games and the first 10 playoff games due to left knee surgery. He scored a Wrister from near the boards just inside the blue line.
Duchene got her goal after her initial shot left her teammate, Roopo Hintz, who was lying on the ice after being shot down. The album returned to Duchene, who then put him in the network.
The stars won their seventh consecutive game at home in this postseason, the first since the franchise moved to Dallas in 1993. They have also won consecutive series openers since they lost eight consecutive games 1.
