Joe Pavelski has the 40th four-goal playoff game in NHL history and first since Denis Gurianov, also for the Stars, vs. the Flames on Aug. 20, 2020.
Only five players have scored five goals in a playoff game.
The last was Mario Lemieux against the Flyers, April 25, 1989.
Joe Pavelski potted his third and fourth goals to match the @DallasStars / North Stars franchise record for most in a playoff contest and send Game 1 to overtime. 😳

Kirill Kaprizov has no even-strength points in the series. His lone point was with 48 seconds left in the 1st period of Game 1.
He has gone 293 minutes, 8 seconds without a point. That’s 14 consecutive periods without a point, plus 12:20 of the second overtime of Game 1. #mnwild
11-game road point streak, 7-1-2 without Kaprizov, 16-1-4 in past 21 overall and now 1 point behind West-leading Vegas with 2 games coming up against the Knights
@JoeSmithNHL on last night’s #mnwild, Gustavsson statement win over the Avs https://t.co/EaHHDJipVm
Ovechkin has goals in four straight games (5 goals total), 10 goals in past 11 games.
He's got points in seven straight games (six goals, five assists)
The shift before his OT winner Sunday, there was a neutral zone faceoff. Kaprizov went to bench and told Evason "We need a faceoff guy."
Evason: "No, we need you."
#mnwild could use some more magic from Kaprizov here in OT
