The Dallas Stars secured a 3-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 5 of their opening-round series. This win marked the first time a home team emerged victorious in this closely contested matchup, giving the Stars a series lead.
Jason Robertson's power-play goal in the late stages of the second period proved to be the difference-maker for Dallas. The goal came after Tyler Seguin suffered a facial injury following a high stick from Alex Pietrangelo. Despite the incident resulting in a penalty, Robertson capitalized on the power play to put the Stars ahead.
