Back from 5-game absence, Stars' Pavelski scores 4 in Game 1

DALLAS -- Joe Pavelski scored four goals for the Dallas Stars in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series against the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night after missing the final five games of the opening round while in concussion protocol.

His efforts weren't enough to save the Stars from a 1-0 hole, however, as the Kraken escaped with a 5-4 win in overtime.

Pavelski's fourth goal of the night with 6 1/2 minutes left in the third period tied the game at 4. He swatted a puck in the net out of mid-air.
