Also in the 2023 playoffs, former Canadiens Max Domi and Evgenii Dadonov bailed out the Dallas Stars as they hope to reach the Western Conference Finals for the second time in four years.
After defeating the Seattle Kraken 6-3 in Game 4 of the second round series on Tuesday, the Texas team is tied 2-2 and can not only rely on their big talents like Tyler Seguin, Roope Hintz and Jamie Benn for his playoff Thank you for the use, but also Domi and Dadonov.

The latter racked up two assists in his last outing and finished fifth on his team in that regard with eight points. In addition, he dominates his people by a +5 difference. Domi grabbed 10 points thanks to his two goals and an assist on Tuesday, putting him second in the Stars. But beyond the individual stats, it’s the club’s performance and the striker is pleased with the achievements of the past few weeks.
“Obviously it’s nice to score a goal and help the team win, but everyone has a part to play,” the hockey player told NHL.com. All conduct games, compete against each other and win the necessary battles. You have to do that because on the other hand it’s good training. We know it. They work hard, have a lot of pace, good goalkeeping and good defence. It’s not easy to create chances, but when there are chances you have to find a way to take them.
Additionally, the stars suspect they will need to keep up the pace to eliminate Colorado Avalanche fall victims. The effort must be sustained.
“We know what happened in the previous part [un échec de 7 à 2 dans la troisième joute] and I think we received everyone’s input. In my opinion we were all hungrier than last time and you could tell. We wanted to win every confrontation and every puck and we did it,” said Domi.
Long winning streak for a specific player
As a result, the two teams are cleared for at least two more games: These will take place on TVA Sports on Thursday at 9:30 p.m. and on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. While in Seattle every Kraken win can be considered a bonus, on the Dallas side the expectations are a bit higher. Still finishing just behind the Avalanche in Central Division standings this season, head coach Peter DeBoer’s men have the tools to go even further.
And the character seems to be there, especially when looking in the direction of defender Miro Heiskanen. The 23-year-old fielder played more than 31 minutes on Tuesday despite his face being quite swollen from a puck in the previous game.
“He’s the backbone of our club,” praised Domi. Everyone knows he’s an incredible player on both sides of the ice. Seeing him again was not only perfect for our game but also for confidence in that dressing room.
