When the second period ended, it was 3-0 Dallas and the Stars held a 26-14 edge in shots on goal. After 30 minutes, the Stars’ lead remained 1-0 although the flow of the game had gone Dallas’ direction. And for the fifth straight game, Dallas held Minnesota’s star forward, Kirill Kaprizov, completely in check. As far as the Wild was concerned, it was all about the Stars’ defense, especially their last line of defense. “I would have had to have a team of 10 guys to keep him out of Game 7,’’ DeBoer said.
