NHL LIVE Seattle Kraken vs Dallas Stars Playoffs Game 6 13th May 2023 Full Game Reaction
13The Seattle Kraken know the situation they're in.
They trail the Dallas Stars three games to two in their best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series, with Game 6 Saturday in Seattle.
The Kraken trailed 2-1 in their opening-round series against the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche before rallying to win in seven games.
So they've come back in a series before already this spring.
But they'll have to stop the Stars' top line of Roope Hintz, Joe Pavelski and Jason Robertson, which combined for eight points Thursday. Hintz led the way with two goals and an assist, moving him into a tie with Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl for the NHL's scoring lead this postseason with 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists).
Not to be outdone, Pavelski has seven goals in the series and Robertson has three goals and three assists, with all three helpers coming Thursday.
Pavelski scored 35 seconds into the second period of Game 5, giving the Stars a 3-0 lead before the Kraken clawed back later in the period to make it 3-2. Hintz scored at 11:20 of the third to give Dallas some breathing room.
The Stars clinched their opening-round victory at Minnesota. They hope to advance again on the road Saturday and avoid a Game 7.
