The Stanley Cup Final is tied at one game apiece for the third consecutive year and fourth time since 2015.
In each of the last two years, the Game 1 victor went on to lose Game 2 and fell short of claiming the Stanley Cup.
The Dallas Stars will look to avoid a similar fate as the Boston Bruins in 2018 and Vegas Golden Knights in 2019 by bouncing back in Game 3 versus the Tampa Bay Lightning Wednesday at Rogers Place.
The last time Tampa Bay was in the championship series, it lost the opener and then won Games 2 and 3 before losing three straight games to the Chicago Blackhawks.
