We were a game too early on the under, with our record falling to 9-4-1 since the start of Round 3.

With at most two games left in the season, let's finish strong.

Tampa Bay Lightning (-160) at Dallas Stars (+140)

On the back of the Stars' best effort of the series, Corey Perry's double-overtime winner on Saturday forced a Game 6. It's easy to look at the shot totals from that contest, with the Lightning holding a 41-33 edge, and say Dallas earned the victory thanks to Anton Khudobin, but that's lazy analysis.

Khudobin was solid but not spectacular on Saturday. His weakness - low blocker-side shots - was exploited again, and he saved just 0.15 goals above expected in regulation.

If anything, Tampa Bay netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy deserves praise. The 2019 Vezina winner was superb throughout the game, coming up especially big during the Stars' dominant first and third periods. That's when Dallas controlled 83.7% of the expected goal share at five-on-five.

Vasilevskiy is a massive reason why the Lightning even managed to get to overtime. The Stars were expected to score 3.16 goals in regulation, compared to 2.15 for the Bolts. Dallas also held a significant offensive edge throughout the game, generating 19 high-danger chances in 89 minutes of Game 5 action, while the Lightning created 12.

The Stars may have allowed a lot of shots, but their excellent defensive play returned, with the club forcing everything to the outside and minimizing the number of quality chances against. Confidence is flowing throughout this resilient bunch, and they won't go down easy.

Dallas seems to have rediscovered its game at the right time. At a generous price - and with Steven Stamkos ruled out for the series - back the Stars to force a Game 7.

Pick: Dallas Stars (+140)

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere is available for a trade this offseason, sources told The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun.

There are three seasons left on the six-year contract Gostisbehere signed in 2017 at an annual value of $4.25 million. The 27-year-old was limited to 42 games this past campaign due to an injury and frequently being a healthy scratch. He averaged a career-low 18:18 of ice time per game.

Gostisbehere posted 12 points before the pause, then added two assists in five playoff contests before Philadelphia was eliminated in the second round.

There are multiple younger, cheaper options available on the Flyers' roster who can assume Gostisbehere's role on the left side of the blue line. Trading the 2015-16 Calder Trophy runner-up would also free up significant cap space for a squad with only $6.235 million to work with this offseason to potentially add talent, and pay restricted free agents Philippe Myers and Nolan Patrick.

Gostisbehere exploded onto the NHL scene as a 22-year-old rookie with 17 goals and 29 assists in 64 games. He's struggled to consistently match that production since, ranking sixth out of seven Flyers defensemen to play 500 minutes this season with a 46.96% expected goals rate.

Chris Stewart is retiring after 11 seasons in the NHL, he announced Sunday.

The journeyman forward played for seven teams across 668 career NHL games. His most productive seasons came early in his career with the Colorado Avalanche and St. Louis Blues when he notched back-to-back 28-goal campaigns in 2009-10 and 2010-11.

Stewart also had stints with the Buffalo Sabres, Minnesota Wild, Anaheim Ducks, and Calgary Flames before finishing with the Philadelphia Flyers. He wraps up his career with 160 goals and 162 assists.

The Avalanche drafted Stewart in the first round in 2006.

He's the brother of former NHL player and current Hockey Night in Canada analyst Anthony Stewart. Chris is also a member of the Hockey Diversity Alliance.

Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos is unavailable for the remainder of the Stanley Cup Final, head coach Jon Cooper announced Sunday.

Stamkos suited up for Game 3 of his club's series versus the Dallas Stars - his only appearance of the postseason. He made the most of it, scoring a laser of a goal while logging just 2:47 of ice time across five shifts in the Tampa victory.

"Hopefully the next time you see him on the ice is during a trophy presentation," Cooper said, per Stephen Whyno of The Associated Press.

Stamkos missed time during the regular season due to core muscle surgery and has been dealing with a lower-body injury since the Lightning reconvened in July.

The Lightning currently lead the Stanley Cup Final 3-2 with Game 6 scheduled for Monday night.

"Captain America" reigns supreme.

Joe Pavelski's tying goal against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final puts him solely in first place on the all-time list of American playoff scorers.

The Dallas Stars forward's late equalizer, his second in as many nights, was his 61st postseason marker in 160 career playoff games. He passed Joe Mullen, who netted 60 in 143 playoff contests.

Pavelski eclipsed Mike Modano's total of 58 and tied Mullen with a pair of goals during the Stars' overtime loss in Game 4 on Friday. The 36-year-old replied, "Keep it, next question," when asked about the record following the defeat.

The veteran forward still had other priorities on his mind after Dallas' 3-2 double-overtime victory Saturday.

Pavelski's 13th goal of the 2019-20 postseason ties Lightning star Brayden Point for the NHL lead - though Pavelski has played four more contests.

Game 6 is scheduled for Monday at 8 p.m. ET.

The Dallas Stars defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 in double overtime in Game 5 on Saturday, keeping their hopes alive in the Stanley Cup Final.

Stars forward Corey Perry's second score was the game-winning goal.

Perry opened scoring with minutes remaining in the first period, giving the Stars the lead. Lightning forward Ondrej Palat got Tampa on the board in the second, tying the game up heading into the third.

Just over three minutes into the final frame, Lightning defenseman Mikhail Sergachev beat Stars goaltender Anton Khudobin to score the go-ahead goal. Stars veteran Joe Pavelski tied things up with 6:45 remaining in the third period and forced overtime for the second straight game.

Pavelski's 61st career goal sets the record for most playoff goals scored by an American-born player, passing Joe Mullen.

Khudobin was superb in the game, stopping 39 of the 41 shots he faced. Andrei Vasilevskiy let in three goals on 33 shots.

Dallas now trails the series 3-2. The teams will play Game 6 on Monday at 8 p.m. ET.
