Nathan Lafayette won the faceoff and passed the puck directly on the stick of Gelinas. Gelinas sent a 25- foot slap shot past goaltender Darcy Wakaluk’s stick side for the game winning goal after the Stars had ral lied from a three-goal deficit to tie it at 4. Trevor Linden scored for the Canucks with 16 seconds left after Dallas had pulled its goalie. The Canucks built a 4-1 lead but Dallas scored two late goals in the second period and tied it at 16:03 in the third on a rebound shot by Mike McPhee to excite the sellout crowd of 16,914 in Reunion Arena. Pavel Bure’s short wrist shot after a perfect drop pass by Trevor Linden and defenseman’s Jyrki Lumme’s E ower-play goal put the Canucks up y three goals. Lumme walked by three Stars defensemen to go on a pointblank shot. Dallas came back on a power- play goal by Richard Matvichuk and McPhee’s first playoff goal when he rebounded his own shot. Vancouver scored two quick goals by Murray Craven and Geoff Courtnall to take a 2-1 lead in the first period. Craven fired a wrist shot from the top of the circle to beat Wakaluk on the stick side with less than two minutes into the game. Four min utes later Courtnall stole a pass by Mike Modano and slapped a shot past Wakaluk on the glove side. Both goals came with the teams playing four-on-four. Dallas rallied from the sloppy start when Paul Broten rebounded his own shot against Kirk McLean to cut the deficit to a goal at intermis sion.
