Dallas notch crucial win in Game 5, moving closer to a series win despite missing key players. Pete Jensen joins to recap the action from Monday night!

All eight Western Conference playoff teams began the week tied in their series 2-2, an indication these Stanley Cup playoffs were just beginning, even if Dallas felt like it had been steamrolled by a runaway Avalanche most of the first four games.

The Dallas Stars will have a premium opportunity tonight to put the series to rest tonight in Game Six. The Stars will look to carry the momentum from their dominating 6-2 win in Game Five. The Stars are faced with another tough task of picking up a victory on the road in Colorado.
