Game 1 went to the Stars thanks to a five-goal third period surge, and the fireworks didn’t stop there. As soon as the buzzer rang for the Stars’ Game 1 victory, chaos broke out on the ice in a full-line scrum between the two sides.
Will the fracas that ensued to close out Game 1 carry over into Game 2? Can the Stars keep up their playoff winning streak at home and take a 2-0 series lead heading back to Edmonton?
