Athletistic / Hockey. The Dallas Stars lost to the Colorado Avalanche in the fifth game of the second round of the NHL playoffs at home with a score of 3:5. Even the brilliant and effective play of striker Joe Pavelski could not save the Sheriffs.
Pavelski scored (1+1) points last night using the goal+pass system. The second point of this match allowed the 39-year-old American to clearly move into fourth place in NHL playoff scoring among active hockey players. Thus, Pavelski overtook Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin. Pavelski now has 142 points (74+68) in 194 games, while the legendary Russian has scored 141 points (72+69) in 151 Stanley Cup games.
Note that there are two Russians in the top 3 for this indicator. The leader is Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby (201 points in 180 games), followed by teammate Evgeni Malkin (180 points in 177 games), and the third is Russian forward of the Tampa Bay Lightning Nikita Kucherov (167 points in 147 games). .
