DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Stars keep responding in these NHL playoffs, like they have all season.

A defence lawyer representing one of five hockey players on trial for sexual assault suggested Monday the complainant led his client to a bathroom to have sex and actively participated in the encounter.

DALLAS — Pursed lips, a few deep breaths, and a consistent line of questions. There are no easy answers to what ails the Winnipeg Jets on the road in the NHL playoffs.

EDMONTON — Falling behind in a game has felt like a position of strength early in the second-round playoff series between the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights.

FORT LAUDERDALE — Auston Matthews ripped a shot from in tight. Sergei Bobrovsky picked it out of the air clean.

NEW YORK — Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi has avoided a suspension for his late hit from behind on Florida Panthers captain Alexander Barkov.

Sergei Bobrovsky gave up five goals in Game 1 against Toronto. Gave up four more in Game 2. Gave up four again in Game 3. Those numbers aren't great. Paul Maurice was never worried.

SUNRISE — Joseph Woll did everything he could to hold the line. The Maple Leafs goaltender stretched, contorted and sprawled to make save after save against the Panthers' onslaught. His teammates weren't close to that level.

DALLAS — Just when it looked like Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck was back in top form again on the road, an unusual own-goal proved to be his undoing.
