[OHHS old timer]

Pavelski scores on a 2-1 break...time 18:32. Benn and Radulov with the assists. Then the Bolts wake up....Point goes forehand/backhand and flips the puck over Khudobin with 33 seconds left in the period.

2-1 Dallas after 1st period.

Dallas only had 3 shots on goal. Tampa Bay had 8

The Stars had the better of play. Won approx. 2/3 of faceoffs and the majority of 50/50 plays. The Lightning went 0-1 on the power play. Tampa has pick-up the pace in the second.

C'mon Bolts.....

Brayden Point again.....on the power play at 2:14. Assists from Killorn and Kucherov. Tied at 2

Play seems to have opened up a bit....

[OHHS old timer]

Perry corrals a deflected pass and puts it into an open net. Seguin and Yanmark assisted. Time 8:14...3-2 Dallas

[OHHS old timer]

Yanni Gourde on the power play at 18:54. Sergachev and Kucherov assisted. Tied again....3 apiece

[OHHS old timer]

Well....we are at 3 aside after 2 periods.

Tampa Bay had the better of play for most of the period. Dallas had 3-4 minute stretch where they were in their O zone....Vasilevskiy stopped them. Likewise for Khudobin as the Lightning had the higher quality of attempts.

Dallas has won 63% of the faceoffs thus far. The Bolts have iced the puck way too many times...still trying that stretch pass. Shots after 2....Tampa 23 Dallas 17

Gotta tighten things up Tampa for the third....

As HOF Phil Esposito says....quit thinking and shoot the puck on goal. Well, he normally has a few more colorful words to add but....we know what he is saying....lol

[OHHS old timer]

Shattenkirk gets the game winner...on the power play!!! Maroon and Hedman with the assists.

5-4 Lightning win....they lead the series 3-1 Game 5 is tomorrow night.

I'll recap a little bit more in the AM..GO Bolts!! One win away from hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup!!

Dallas did not convert on the power play...while the Bolts went 3-4. See ya tomorrow night....

[OHHS old timer]

Point with 2 goals
Killorn and Shattenkirk goal and assist
Kucherov and Sergachev 2 assists

What I failed to mention....

It was a 4 on 4 to start overtime for the first 1:32. Then Tampa gets a penalty...Dallas gets a 4 on 3 power play which turns into a 5 on 4....Vasilevskiy stonewalled the Stars and the Lightning were quick to send the puck out of the zone.

Bottom line....Stars 0-3 on power play while the Bolts went 3-4, including the game winning goal. Dallas changed their lines constantly....this did cause some confusion at times for Tampa but they were up to the task.

Game 5 is tonight at 8....enjoy the day!! Go Bolts!!

[OHHS old timer]

Almost time....Game 5

The last win is the hardest....Let's Go Bolts!!

1-zip Dallas

[OHHS old timer]

Dallas with the 1-0 after 1st period....

Pretty even period. Faceoffs, hits, takeaway/giveaway almost even. Shots....Dallas 8 Lightning 10. Tampa was 0-1 on the power play...0 for the Stars.

Bolts have to pick it up...Dallas will NOT just roll over. Time to get moving Bolts!!

Ondrei Palat ties it up at 4:31. Kucherov and Point assists.

1 all

[OHHS old timer]

1-1 going to to the 3rd period....

Tampa had the better play in the first half...Dallas the second half. Too many faceoffs in our zone...gotta get the puck up and out quicker. Hedman got stuck out on the ice for 3:03...granted their was a TV timeout but....geeeezzzz!!

Stats still pretty even after 2. Shots after 2 periods
Dallas 15 Tampa Bay 22

C'mon Lightning.....3rd period coming up...make it count guys!!! Dallas is down a defenseman but you couldn't tell. Gotta be a little tired though.

How bad do you want it?!?!?!?!?

[OHHS old timer]

Sergachev!! Gets the steal...passes to Point..back to Sergachev....bombs away from the left point. 3:37 Point gets the lone assist

2-1 Bolts
