Nhl Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition – September 15, 2020 NHL MORNING SKATE: STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS EDITION – SEPTEMBER 15, 2020 THREE HARD LAPS * After earning only one win in their first nine games of the season, starting the 2020 calendar year with a multi-goal comeback win outdoors in front of 85,630 fans at Cotton Bowl Stadium, and losing each of their last six contests before the pause, the Stars staged yet another comeback victory to clinch a spot in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in 20 years. * Denis Gurianov and fellow rookie Joel Kiviranta, who tallied the tying marker in Game 5, will enter their first Final after combining for a rare feat by accounting for the clinching goal in each of Dallas’ last two series. * The Lightning look to join the Stars in the championship round when they contest Game 5 against the Islanders, whose general manager has experience in rallying from a 3-1 series deficit to win a Conference Finals. GURIANOV SCORES OVERTIME WINNER TO POWER STARS INTO STANLEY CUP FINAL The Stars scored two third-period goals to erase a 2-0 deficit – including a tying tally by Joel Kiviranta with 3:47 remaining in regulation – and fellow rookie Denis Gurianov (1-1—2) potted the winner on a power play at 3:36 of overtime to power Dallas into the Stanley Cup Final. * The Stars reached the Stanley Cup Final for the fifth time in franchise history. The Minnesota North Stars clinched two berths in the championship series (1981 & 1991) and the Stars will make their third appearance since relocating to Texas ahead of the 1993-94 season (also 1999 & 2000). * Gurianov became the fifth rookie in NHL history to score a series-clinching goal in overtime which propelled his team into the Stanley Cup Final. He joined Pep Kelly of the Maple Leafs in Game 4 of the 1935 Semifinals (2-1 OT W vs. BOS), Jacques Lemaire of the Canadiens in Game 5 of the 1968 Semifinals (4-3 OT W vs. CHI), Darren Helm of the Red Wings in Game 5 of the 2009 Western Conference Final (2-1 OT W vs. CHI) and Adam Henrique of the Devils in Game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference Final (3-2 OT W vs. NYR). * Gurianov has 5-3—8 in three series-clinching wins this postseason, which includes a 4-1—5 showing in Game 6 of the First Round versus Calgary (7-3 W). His eight points in series- clinching wins are the highest such total in League history by a rookie within a playoff year, while his five goals are tied for the most among NHL rookies in a single postseason with Chicago’s Jeremy Roenick in 1990 (5-1—6 in 3 GP). * Gurianov, who snapped a seven-game goal drought, leads all rookies in both goals and points this postseason (9-8—17 in 21 GP). He is one of eight rookies in NHL history with nine or more goals in a playoff year. * Kiviranta has recorded each of his first five career playoff points in series-clinching wins (4-1— 5), highlighted by a hat trick in Game 7 of the Second Round against the Avalanche which included the overtime winner. * Kiviranta became the second player in League history to record each of his first five career postseason points in series-clinching victories (spanning playoff years or otherwise), joining Philadelphia’s Peter Zezel in 1985 (1-4—5 in 2 GP). He also became the second player in NHL history to score each of his first four career playoff goals in series-clinching wins, following Duane Sutter with the Islanders from 1980 to 1981 (4-2—6 in 4 GP). DID YOU KNOW? The Stars became the fourth team in NHL history to have two different rookies score a series- clinching goal in a playoff year, joining the Montreal Maroons in 1926 (Babe Siebert & Nels Stewart), Rangers in 1981 (Tom Laidlaw & Lance Nethery) and Avalanche in 1999 (Milan Hejduk & Chris Drury). Dallas is the only team among that cohort to have both of its rookies score series-clinching goals in overtime. * Two teams in League history have also had a single rookie score two series-clinching goals in a postseason: Toronto in 1940 (Hank Goldup) and New Jersey in 2012 (Adam Henrique). MORE GAME 5 QUICK HITS * Dallas overcame a multi-goal deficit to earn a series-clinching win for the third time in franchise history, following Game 6 of the 1998 Conference Quarterfinals against San Jose (3-2 OT W) and Game 6 of the 2020 First Round versus Calgary (7-3 W). The Stars became the second team in NHL history to overcome a multi-goal deficit in multiple series-clinching wins within a playoff year, joining the Islanders in 1980 (Game 5 of QF & Game 6 of SF). * Dallas became the fourth team to overcome a deficit in each of its three series-clinching wins to reach the Stanley Cup Final since the four-round playoff format was introduced in 1975. The Stars joined the Canadiens in 1989, Mighty Ducks in 2003 and Hurricanes in 2006. * Dallas earned multiple series-clinching wins in overtime in a playoff year for the second time in franchise history. The first instance was in 1999, when the Stars clinched three of their series with an overtime goal en route to claiming the franchise’s first-ever Stanley Cup. * Anton Khudobin (34 saves) improved to 12-6 in 19 appearances this postseason (2.62 GAA, .920 SV%, 1 SO), including wins in each of the Stars’ last three games to close out the series. He has backstopped Dallas to all three of its series-clinching wins in 2020.

QUICK CLICKS * NHL statement on COVID-19 testing results * Stars receive Clarence S. Campbell Bowl * Stars will play Lightning or Islanders in Stanley Cup Final * Geoff Ward to remain coach of Flames * U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2020 includes Tony Granato, Jerry York LIGHTNING LOOK TO CLINCH FRANCHISE’S THIRD STANLEY CUP FINAL BERTH The Lightning look to reach the Stanley Cup Final for the third time in franchise history when they face the Islanders in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference Final series. * Tampa Bay reached the Stanley Cup Final in both 2004 and 2015, defeating Calgary in seven games during the first appearance and falling to Chicago in six in the second. Nine players who dressed at least one game with the Lightning in the 2015 Final remain with the team (Braydon Coburn, Victor Hedman, Tyler Johnson, Alex Killorn, Nikita Kucherov, Ondrej Palat, Cedric Paquette, Steven Stamkos & Andrei Vasilevskiy). * Brayden Point (9-16—25 in 16 GP) and Kucherov (6-19—25 in 17 GP) lead Tampa Bay with 25 points apiece this postseason. The Lightning are the first team with multiple 25-point scorers before its 20th game in a playoff year since 2009, when Evgeni Malkin (13-17—30 in 19 GP) and Sidney Crosby (14-14—28 in 19 GP) combined for the feat with the Penguins en route to winning the Stanley Cup. * Aside from Tampa Bay this year and Pittsburgh in 2009, there have been only six other instances of a team with multiple 25-point scorers prior to its 20th game in a postseason since 1987 when the Division Semifinals changed from a best-of-five to best-of-seven format. Each club won the Stanley Cup. * Of note, the Oilers only played in 19 total games during the 1988 Stanley Cup Playoffs, which includes the contest on May 24 that was suspended at 16:37 of the second period due to a power failure at Boston Garden. DID YOU KNOW? New York aims to become the second team to win a Conference Finals after facing a 3-1 series deficit. The only club to do so since the conference format was adopted ahead of the 1981-82 season was the Devils, who accomplished the feat against the Flyers in the 2000 Eastern Conference Final with current Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello at the helm. * New Jersey reeled off three consecutive wins in that series to advance, with Patrik Elias scoring the clinching goal with 2:32 remaining in regulation in Game 7. The Devils would go on to defeat the Stars in the Final to win their second of three Stanley Cups with Lamoriello as general manager of the team (also 1995 & 2003). .

  • “The Last Game” to Bring Awareness to Climate Change
    ISLANDERS TO HOST CHARITY, “THE LAST GAME” TO BRING AWARENESS TO CLIMATE CHANGE EAST MEADOW, NY (DATE, 2019) – The New York Islanders are partnering with United Nations Environmental Department to host a segment of The Last Game, a series of hockey games designed to raise awareness to the impact of climate change. The game will take place at 3 p.m., prior to the Islanders preseason game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday, Sept. 17. Originally scheduled to take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, this game will now be at NYCB Live, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Legendary Russian ice hockey player and member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, Viacheslav Fetisov, spearheads the event and is a UN Environment Patron of the Polar Regions. Along with Fetisov, other Hockey Hall of Fame legends, United Nations and National Geographic Society top officials, NYC First Responders, the Manhattan Borough President and hundreds of youth hockey players will be in attendance at Nassau Coliseum. “We are excited to work with the New York Islanders in raising awareness for Climate Change,” Fetisov said. “It is extremely important that we take care of our planet, the most important resource in all our lives. Playing this game with such a tremendous group of distinguished guests in New York will make this our biggest event we’ve hosted in an effort to save the world we love.” “Our environment and the importance of Climate Change are important topics that we cannot ignore,” Islanders President/General Manager Lou Lamoriello said. “To have the chance to support and help raise awareness for these efforts, while also working with Slava, makes this a fantastic event.

  • Thank You & Campaign Results
    THANK YOU & CAMPAIGN RESULTS HHTH.COM | #STAYTHEPUCKHOME ABOUT THE STAY THE PUCK HOME CAMPAIGN FROM HOCKEY HELPS THE HOMELESS & BARDOWN HOCKEY Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hockey Helps the Homeless (HHTH) was forced to put their pro- am tournament season on hold, which bring in much-needed dollars to homeless support agencies and shelters across Canada. However, just because the pandemic put the rest of the world on pause, the need for support and funding for homeless and at-risk Canadians did not stop. In fact, it is only growing. For homeless and at-risk Canadians, the realities of the novel coronavirus are much different. They are at a much higher risk of contracting infections, chronic illnesses or compromised immune systems, making them extremely vulnerable to the virus and many lack the access to the supplies and infrastructure needed to maintain their health. Shelters and front-line workers working through the pandemic are in desperate need of funds since COVID-19 has put a tight strain on their budget and resources. They face an increase in demand from their clients, and a decrease in charitable giving from sponsors and their donors. Even though we are currently unable to host tournaments, everyone at HHTH still wanted to find a way to help. In order to do so, we teamed up with Bardown Hockey to create an exclusive, limited edition clothing line called “Stay The Puck Home” to support Canada’s homeless. 100% of net proceeds from the sale of the $25 t-shirts and $50 hoodies went to our charity partners from coast-to-coast.
