After knocking off the Western Conference's top two seeds in the previous two rounds, the Dallas Stars got off to a strong start in the Stanley Cup Final, beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1 on Saturday.
Dallas has won six of its past seven games and looks to be peaking at the right time as it pushes to win the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1999.
This is the first time the Stars have been in the Stanley Cup Final since 2000. But they showed no signs of jitters as they scored five minutes, 40 seconds into Game 1, added two goals in the second period and an empty-netter late in the third after some sustained pressure from the Lightning.
