Dallas trails 2-4 on the scoreboard, but the Stars have been getting the better looks. With 5:23 left in the 2nd, they lead in high-danger chances 11-5 and in shot attempts 28-24.
Jake Oettinger has stopped only 1 of 5 high-danger shots, while Jakub Dobes has stopped 6 of 8. Jamie Benn cut it to 2-4 at 5v5.
