Round One of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs continues this afternoon at 2 p.m. CT when the Nashville Predators host the Dallas Stars at Bridgestone Arena for Game 5, and it's now a best-of-three.
Nashville had won two-straight contests heading into Game 4 back in Dallas, but the Stars topped the Predators 5-1 on Wednesday night to even the series at two games apiece.
Whoever wins this afternoon will go back to Dallas for Game 6 on Monday night with a chance to advance to the second round. Needless to say, today's contest holds massive implications.
