Corey Perry’s second goal of the game 9:23 into the second overtime period gave the Dallas Stars a 3-2 victory over Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final in Edmonton.
Mikhail Sergachev’s early third period tally had the Lightning on the brink of its second championship, but Joe Pavelski scored with 6:45 remaining in regulation, allowing the Stars to avoid elimination.
Pavelski’s goal was his 61st NHL postseason goal, passing Joe Mullen for most-ever by an American-born player.
