The Dallas Stars beat the Nashville Predators 2-1 in overtime of Game 6. Twitter tells the story of how a John Klingberg wrist shot sends the Stars into the second round.
Sounds like neither team is changing its lineup for Game 6. My guess is Rinne with get a quick hook if the Stars strike early though.

Spezza with a poor pass right up the middle in his own zone. Preds capitalize on the turnover with an easy rebound goal by Austin Watson. 1-0 Preds.

Benn destroys the post. Stars gaining momentum and possession but still nothing by Rinne.

Preds get the first power play of the game as Zuccarello heads to the box for two minutes.

Austin Watson hits Hintz right in the head with an elbow. Dumb penalty by Watson in the offensive zone. Stars to the power play.

Nashville dominated the opening period outshooting the Stars 19-10 but the score remains 1-0 Nashville.

Haven't seen Hintz yet in the second period and Dowling is currently in his normal spot between Dickinson and Zucarrello.

Bishop with a couple of huge saves that eventually leads to a Stars 3-on-1 and Blake Comeau scoring the Stars first goal of the game. 1-1 game near the halfway mark.

Both goal scorers in this game go to the box after scoring their goal. Comeau gets two for a delay of game. Preds back on the power play.

Stars kill off the Comeau penalty. Preds are now 0-for-13 with the extra man this series.

Dickinson to the box for elbowing. He doesn't like the call but he clearly had his elbow out when he hit Ekholm. Puts Dallas in a tough spot with four minutes left in the period.

Make that 0-for-14 for Nashville as the Stars kill off Dickinson's penalty.
— Brian Roe (@brianproe) April 23, 2019
1-1 game after two periods in Dallas.
— Brian Roe (@brianproe) April 23, 2019
Stars with two golden opportunities in the first five minutes of the third. The post stopped a Lindell backhand and Rinne stopped a Comeau shot. Still a 1-1 game.

Goaltending show in the third period. Stars are allowing a startling number of odd man rushes but Bishop has been incredible tonight.
— Brian Roe (@brianproe) April 23, 2019
Did the NHL order up a Game 7? No clue how that was a penalty on Comeau.
— Brian Roe (@brianproe) April 23, 2019
Good PK work by Dallas. Game 6 is headed to overtime.
— Brian Roe (@brianproe) April 23, 2019
P.K. Subban is dealing with some sort of injury, I'm guessing. Something upper body. He's avoiding contact and doesn't seem to be playing with his normal physicality.

Netminders putting on a show in OT.

Klingberg with a beautiful wrist shot ends this game and series. Start win 2-1 and take the series in six games. On to St. Louis.

The series-winning goal. https://t.co/fNpV4H1XjM

Bishop with a .979 save percentage tonight stopping 47 of 48 shots tonight.
