In the fifth game for the crown in the Western Conference, the Texans managed a 4-2 win at the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday.

Dallas thus shortened the best-of-seven series to 2:3, while Vegas missed its first match point in front of its home crowd. The sixth game takes place on Monday evening (local time) in Dallas.

Ty Dellandrea became the difference-maker for the Stars with a brace in the final third. For the 22-year-old, it was the first game of his NHL career with more than one goal. Luke Glendening and Jason Robertson scored the other goals for the Stars, while Ivan Barbashev and Chandler Stephenson scored for the Golden Knights.

The winner in the West will face the Florida Panthers in the fight for the Stanley Cup. The team from Florida clearly won the final round of the Eastern Conference with a 4-0 win against the Carolina Hurricanes.
