Jokiharju made it 4-2 at 5:51 with a wrist shot from the high slot to the glove side for his first goal with the Bruins.<\/p>\n
Arvidsson scored an empty-net goal at 16:23 for a 5-2 lead.<\/p>\n
Johnston brought the Stars to within 5-3 while on the power play at 19:02, lifting a backhand shot over Korpisalo’s blocker from in front.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot enough,\u201d Johnston said. \u201cWe\u2019re playing a lot of hungry teams who are fighting for their lives. You can\u2019t expect to be perfect and dominate a full 60 every day, but when we play our way more often than we don\u2019t we\u2019re really successful, so it\u2019s just a matter of doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arvidsson scored a second empty-net goal at 19:47 to complete the hat trick and secure the 6-3 final.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have fun together and we put a lot of emphasis on being hard on each other, and really pushing each other,\u201d Arvidsson said. \u201cIn that regard, we\u2019re really happy where we are, but we have a job to finish to get ready for the playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bruins have seven games remaining, including five on the road where they are 15-14-7. Arvidsson admitted the team is playing with a lot of confidence, but needs to be better on the road.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going on a road trip and we\u2019ve got to get the job done now,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to start off good and just build and improve our game on the road.”<\/p>\n
For Dallas, five of its remaining seven games are on home ice.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe obviously want to come back home and get ourselves back to where we need to be,\u201d Duchene said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got another level we can get back to. It\u2019s normal after a streak to sag a little bit. We were neck-and-neck with Colorado and they pulled away from us a little bit. We\u2019ve got seven left now and it\u2019s time to ramp it up and ascending with our game going into the playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n
