Robertson brought the Stars to within 4-3 at 12:31, putting a shot off Allen’s stick.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe knew coming here in the second period that they were going to have a push; they are the second-best team in the League. They are not just going to walk away. We knew they were going to have pushes there. They have good players that make good plays, but I think overall we were pretty calm in the situation, we managed it pretty well,\u201d Bratt said. \u201cI thought our defense was pretty good and especially that third period. I feel we didn\u2019t give them too much other than that one line-rush goal that they had.\u201d<\/p>\n
Timo Meier<\/a> pushed the lead to 5-3 at 6:46 of the third period when he scored top shelf from the right circle with a wrist shot over DeSmith’s left shoulder.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s the first time in a while where we\u2019ve been stung like this multiple times. Hopefully we learn from it,\u201d Robertson said. \u201c[We need to] slow down the rush. We saw it against Vegas, there was a lot of rush. Today early, a lot of rush, even worse. So, we clean that up like we did in the second and third, try to limit their breaks, and it\u2019s a good recipe [to win Thursday].\u201d<\/p>\n Mavrik Bourque<\/a> made it 5-4 at 13:08, deflecting in a backdoor pass from Justin Hryckowian<\/a>\u00a0through Allen’s pads as he crashed the net.<\/p>\n Hamilton, who was playing in his 900th NHL game, secured the 6-4 final with an empty-net goal at 19:00.<\/p>\n
