Klingberg’s OT goal pushes Stars over Preds to advance

Associated Press  

DALLAS — With a chance to clinch a playoff series at home for the first time in 11 years, the Dallas Stars needed overtime again. “We wanted to close it out today and don’t have to deal with going back there,” said Klingberg, whose first goal of the playoffs came after five assists in the series. He was incredible.” Pekka Rinne, who won the Vezina Trophy last year as the NHL’s top goalie, also set a career best by stopping 49 shots in his 89th career playoff game. “We came in here obviously wanting to take the series back to Nashville, and I thought we gave ourselves a great opportunity to do that.” Blake Comeau scored his first playoff goal for the Stars, tying the game at 1-1 in the second period. Nashville, which failed to get out of the first round for the first time in four years, won Game 2 in overtime and is 8-9 in such games.. Nashville’s top line of Ryan Johansen, Viktor Arvidsson and Forsberg finished the series with a combined two goals and two assists.
