Dallas beat Minnesota 4-1 tonight to win the series 4-2. Stars goalie #29 Jake Oettinger only allowed one goal in the final two games. The Lakeville North HS alum helped lift the Stars into the next round while the Wild will have time to search for answers. pic.twitter.com/OseI…

Dallas leads Minnesota 1-0 after one period of play. Stars #20 Ryan Suter went for a pin and then a figure-four leg lock on Wild #38 Ryan Hartman on one end of the ice, but soon after, Stars #24 Roope Hintz scored on the other end. pic.twitter.com/A63X…
