Pavel Francouz - G

Colorado Avalanche

Pavel Francouz has been using virtual reality training to try to stay sharp during the NHL pause.

Since the NHL paused on March 12, players haven't been able to practice or skate. The most they can really do in self-isolation is workout, which can keep them physically fit but that's not the same as being game ready. Virtual reality training isn't a substitute for on-ice work either, but it's something Francouz can do to keep himself a little closer to where he'll need to be should the campaign resume. It's a tool to train his brain and keep his reflexes sharp. "One such practice unit is that you look at different shapes, blinking several ways and as quickly as possible you have to choose one of the rankings options that is correct," Francouz said. "So you have to use your memory and quick decisions at the same time. Then there are different games. Like when you have a bat in your hand and there are four spots from which a ball can get to you. The ball is slowing down, speeding up ... And one teammate is showing up. So you have to hit the ball that gets to you from different spots and send it to the place where the teammate showed up. This has all been made to model sport situations for your brain. And it really is able to stimulate your brain so I think it is really helpful."

T. Seguin - F

DAL

Tyler Seguin registered three assists in Saturday's 3-2 double OT win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Seguin picked up the primary helper on Corey Perry's first-period goal and he also notched an assist on Joe Pavelski's game-tying goal in the third frame. The Stars didn't seem to have much energy left in the first overtime, but they managed to get the game-winner from Perry in the second OT. Seguin picked up the secondary assist on the game-winning goal, too. The Stars forward became just the second player in Dallas Stars/Minnesota North Stars history to pick up at least three assists in a Stanley Cup Final game (Brad Maxwell had four assists in the 1981 final). Seguin now has two goals and 11 assists in 25 postseason games. The Stars can even up this series with a win on Monday night.

O. Palat - F

TB

Ondrej Palat scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 double OT loss to the Dallas Stars in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Palat used a great power move to get around Stars defenseman Esa Lindell before scoring the game-tying goal early in the second period. Teammate Mikhail Sergachev gave the Lightning a 2-1 lead in the third period, but they couldn't hang on for the Stanley Cup win. Palat and the Lightning were clearly the better team in the first overtime, but they simply couldn't find the back of the Stars net. In the second OT frame, Corey Perry gave the Stars the win. Palat now has points in four consecutive games. He's up to 11 goals and 18 points in 24 postseason contests. A win in Game 6 on Monday night would give the Lightning the Stanley Cup.

J. Pavelski - F

DAL

Joe Pavelski scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 double overtime win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.

The Stars found themselves down 2-1 in the third period of this elimination game when Pavelski managed to score the game-tying goal at the 13:15 mark of the frame. That goal also allowed him to become the all-time leading goal scorer for America born players in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, with 61. The Stars veteran didn't come up with the game-winner (that went to Corey Perry), but he managed to block a huge shot in the first overtime. Pavelski now has 13 goals and 19 points in 26 postseason contests. The Stars can even this series up by winning Game 6 on Monday night.

A. Vasilevskiy - G

TB

Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 33 shots in Saturday's 3-2 double overtime loss to the Stars in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.

For the second night in a row, the Lightning had to fight back from a first-period deficit but they managed to grab a 2-1 lead in the third period. The Bolts were unable to secure the win in regulation though, as Joe Pavelski tied the game with less than seven minutes remaining in the third frame. Vasilevskiy didn't see much action in the first overtime because the Stars, who were seemingly out of gas, couldn't generate much. But veteran Corey Perry, who scored Dallas' first goal, managed to find the back of the net in the second OT. Vasilevskiy now has a 17-7 record with a 1.97 goals-against-average and a .925 save percentage this postseason. The Lightning still have a 3-2 lead in this series heading into Monday's Game 6.

A. Khudobin - G

DAL

Anton Khudobin turned aside 39 of 41 shots in Saturday's 3-2 double overtime win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Khudobin turned in a solid effort after struggling over the last three games of this series. The Stars had just minutes left in their season when Joe Pavelski scored the game-tying goal in the third period of this game. The Lightning managed to dominate the first overtime period, but they couldn't come away with the Stanley Cup winning goal. Finally, it was Corey Perry who gave Dallas the win in the second overtime (that was his second goal of the contest). Khudobin now has a 14-9 record this postseason. This was the first time he allowed fewer than three goals since Game 1 of the series. The Stars can force a Game 7 by winning on Monday night.

M. Sergachev - D

TB

Mikhail Sergachev found the back of the net in Saturday's 3-2 double overtime loss to Dallas in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Sergachev gave the Lightning a 2-1 lead less than four minutes into the third period. The Bolts were less than a period away from hoisting the Stanley Cup, but they gave up the game-tying goal to Joe Pavelski later on in the third frame. Stars forward Corey Perry added the game-winner in the second overtime frame. This is a heartbreaking loss for the Bolts, as they were clearly the better team in overtime. Sergachev has three points in his last two games and he's up to three goals and 10 points in 24 games this postseason. The Lightning will try to win the Stanley Cup on Monday night.

C. Perry - F

DAL

Corey Perry scored a pair of goals in Saturday's 3-2 double OT win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Perry opened the scoring at the 17:52 mark of the first period and he added the game-winning goal at the 9:23 mark of the second overtime frame. The Stars didn't seem to have much gas left in the tank in the extra frames, but they still found a way to come away with a season-saving victory. Perry has now scored three goals in his last two games. The 35-year-old has five goals and nine points in 26 games this postseason. The Stars will try to even this series, 3-3, on Monday night. Joe Pavelski also found the back of the net on Saturday night.

Sekera left the game in the first period after blocking a shot and he didn't take a single shift in the second period. But the veteran managed to hop back on the ice at the start of the third frame.
