11 months agoDallas Stars forward Joe Pavelski enjoyed a two-point outing against the Avalanche in Wednesday's 5-3 loss. He scored his first postseason goal of the year and picked up a power-play assist. Pavelski is ranked fourth all-time among American skaters in playoff points in the NHL, but the veteran has been off his game in 2024. He had managed just one point in 11 games before Wednesday's contest. With Roope Hintz (upper body) and Tyler Seguin (undisclosed) battling injuries, Pavelski must do much more for Dallas to survive in the playoffs.

2 years agoDallas Stars right wing Joe Pavelski scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Golden Knights in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final. Pavelski's power-play goal was scored on a one-timer from the faceoff circle and it ended the game just 3:18 into the extra frame, while it was the first goal of the series for the veteran forward. Since returning from an injury at the beginning of the second round, Pavelski has played a major role on the offensive end with nine goals and a total of 13 points through 12 games in the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Pavelski and the Stars will need to replicate the result in Game 5 of the series on Saturday night in order to avoid elimination.

2 years agoDallas Stars forward Joe Pavelski turned his focus from goal-scoring to playmaking in Friday's Game 1 against Vegas, setting up two goals in a 4-3 overtime defeat. The veteran had a pair of helpers in the third period when Roope Hintz and Jamie Benn produced a couple of game-tying goals. Pavelski entered the series having averaged a goal per game through eight postseason outings this year and he now also boasts four assists.

2 years agoDallas Stars forward Joe Pavelski will be reunited with Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz on the top line in Game 4 against Seattle on Tuesday. Tyler Seguin joined the line after Pavelski got injured at the start of the first-round series against Minnesota and played well, but the trio was among one of the best in the league during the regular season and it was only a matter of time before Stars head coach Peter DeBoer would put them back together. Pavelski hasn't exactly done badly in a lesser role either, posting five goals and six points in four playoff games this year.
