Scoring just nine seconds into Game 5 at American Airlines Center, the Stars showed up from the start and took down the Colorado Avalanche 6-2 on Monday to take a 3-2 series lead. The Stars will have the chance to end the series Thursday night in Game 6 at Colorado.

Johnston’s record-setting starter goal came on a shot from the immediate left of the net. The 21-year-old forward already in his 43rd career playoff game was skating toward the back wall and passing the red line when he took the shot that ricocheted off goalie Mackenzie Blackwood.

They will meet on Monday night, April 28, at American Airlines Center in Dallas to see who can move within a win of clinching this series. Game time is 9:30 p.m. EDT and can be seen on ESPN and Altitude Sports Network or live streamed on ESPN+, fubo TV (FREE trial), DirecTV Stream (FREE trial and discount) or Sling TV (introductory discount).
