Stars even series with 5-1 win over Predators after 4 in 1st
DALLAS — The bounce-back effort by Ben Bishop after a tough game didn’t surprise Dallas Stars coach Jim Montgomery.
Dallas also got a power boost to go with Bishop’s 34 saves, scoring three power-play goals in the first period on the way to a 5-1 victory over the Nashville Predators on Wednesday night to even the best-of-seven series at two games each.
“It was nice to see the power play do it in such a dominant fashion,” Montgomery said.
Roope Hintz and Alexander Radulov scored power-play goals on Dallas’ first two shots, and the Stars chased Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne with four goals on eight shots in less than 14 minutes.
