Open Thread: Game 5 of Stanley Cup Final Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Dallas Stars

The Tampa Bay Lightning have moved within a single win of hoisting the Stanley Cup after defeating the Dallas Stars 5-4 in Game 4. Kevin Shattenkirk scored at the 6:34 mark of the first overtime period on the power play, and gave the Lightning their third win of the Final. The Dallas Stars, who have dropped two consecutive games, will look to fight off elimination tonight in Game 5.

Steven Stamkos was labeled as “unfit to play” once again after briefly appearing in Game 3 and registering just a touch over four minutes of ice-time.
