NHL Stanley Cup Final 2020: Stars vs. Lightning Game 1 Result, Updated Schedule

The Dallas Stars won their fourth straight playoff game and sixth in seven contests to open up a 1-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2020 Stanley Cup Final.

Dallas once again delivered a stout defensive performance, holding the Eastern Conference champion to a single goal at Rogers Place. Goaltender Anton Khudobin took the early lead in the race for Stanley Cup Final MVP, as he turned away 35 of Tampa Bay's 36 attempts on goal.

Dallas had four different players score a goal, and it never trailed in its first championship round game since 2000.
