Kevin Shattenkirk (Boston University) scored the third goal of the first period on Monday for the Tampa Bay Lightning, and it stood up as the game-winner in a 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars that tied the best-of-seven Stanley Cup Final at one contest apiece.
Shattenkirk, who captained BU to the 2009 NCAA title, wristed in a shot from the right point late in the first period to put the Lightning up, 3-0. The goal, his second of these playoffs, made him the third player (and defenseman) with Hockey East ties to score a goal this series, following both Joel Hanley (Massachusetts) and Jamie Oleksiak (Northeastern) for the Stars in Game One.
Joe Pavelski (Wisconsin), who won the 2006 NCAA championship with the Badgers, deflected home a puck late in the second period to put Dallas on the board. It was his team-leading 10th goal this postseason.
Game Three of the NHL championship is Wednesday night (8 p.m. ET, NBC) in Edmonton.
