Gameday Preview: Texas Stars v. Toronto Marlies, Game 5

H-E-B Center at Cedar Park, Cedar Park, TX

Series tied 2-2

There's only one stat that matter tonight: 19-1.

In the 20 Finals series before this that have been tied at two, the team that wins Game 5 has gone on to win.

To get that third win, Texas needs to do what it did on Thursday: frustrate the Marlies. It was clear from postgame comments and even on-ice body language that Toronto did not expect to be challenged like this in the Finals. "They’re playing their best hockey--that’s pretty clear," said Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe of Texas after Game 4.
