Frost forward Kelly Pannek on special teams:
"A lot of times in playoffs, you look at the Wild last night. They dominated the power play, they win the game. And that's a big, key factor in playoffs is if you're not winning it, you at least have to tie it."
Frost bookend their home regular-season schedule with 2-1 and 2-0 losses to Toronto.

In seven playoff series, Joel Eriksson Ek scored a career-high three goals in one series in 2022.
Tonight, he scored twice. His first two career power-play goals in his playoff career.
Solid start for Wallstedt in net. Kept the Stars off the board 5-on-5.
