The 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs presented by GEICO continue with Game 6 of the Western Conference Final on Monday, May 29, on ESPN, ESPN+ and ESPN Deportes, featuring the Vegas Golden Knights at Dallas Stars during primetime at 8 p.m. ET.
Escaping elimination for the second game in a row, the Stars and a series-saving, third-period performance by Ty Dellandrea, who netted two goals for his first multigoal playoff game of his career, and helped give Dallas a chance to even the series – now trailing Vegas 3-2. The two and only Game 5 goals from the Golden Knights came from Ivan Barbashev and Chandler Stephenson, each with an assist from Jonathan Marchessault. The Golden Knights will again attempt to close out the Western Conference series on Monday and move on to the Stanley Cup Final.
ESPN’s NHL-focused studio show, The Point, will be presented throughout the Western Conference Final as games become necessary. New episodes of In The Crease stream exclusively on ESPN+ each game day, following the last game of the day, with in-depth analysis, interviews and highlights. Additionally, all Stanley Cup Playoff games are available for on-demand replay on ESPN+ within 24 hours of each game’s completion.
