The Dallas Stars won 3-2 in Wednesday's Game 5 to put the defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights on the verge of elimination.
The Stars have won three straight contests after going down 0-2 to start the series. Dallas is the first to win on home ice in the series.
Jake Oettinger denied Chandler Stephenson on a breakaway late in the third period to preserve the Stars' lead. He finished the game with 25 saves. Adin Hill made 22 stops in his first start of the series.
The Golden Knights have made the conference finals in four of five playoff appearances. Vegas lost in the 2019 first round against the San Jose Sharks in seven games.
Game 6 is set for Friday at Vegas' T-Mobile Arena.
