Texas Stars captain, Curtis McKenzie, scored the game-winning goal two minutes into overtime to push the series back north to Abbotsford. Jack Becker earned the primary assist by collecting the puck behind the net and shoveling it in front for McKenzie, who quickly whipped the puck past Artürs Šilovs for the game-winning goal. Abbotsford still holds a 3-2 series lead, and games six and seven will be in Abbotsford.
This was the third overtime in the first five games of the series, but also the only one that went the Stars' way. “It's that time of year,” head coach Neil Graham said when asked about how close this series has been.
