Game 3 is Sunday night in Seattle. Tye Kartye and Jordan Eberle had goals for the Kraken. Johnston, who has lived with Pavelski’s family this season, set up his mentor’s power-play goal when he initially whiffed at the puck before whipping around and sending it into the laid-out stick of goaltender Philipp Grubauer. Pavelski was there for the rebound and put the Stars up 3-1 with 3:03 left in the middle period. Pavelski scored all four Stars goals ...
