"It's a big goal for where we're at in the season," Ellis said. "It was a tight game tonight and a big goal. It felt good, but we're still hunting something and we're chasing right now. All that matters is that we won this game."
Said Bishop, "I never saw it. I didn't really expect him to shoot from there and I think it kind of surprised us a little bit. I couldn't see it through us, so it was just kind of unfortunate."
Dallas has allowed at least one power-play goal in five straight games (9-for-16 on penalty kill), and each of its past five goals against have come on the power play.
"They got a very fluky goal," Stars coach Rick Bowness said. "I thought our penalty killers did a great job tonight, and they get a lucky goal with three seconds to go (on the man-advantage) that they throw from the boards. That's what we're going through right now."
Saros made 14 saves in the third period, including on Radek Faksa from in front at 6:20 to preserve the win.
"It's a pretty similar game to Thursday," Saros said. "We played really solid defense, blocked a lot of shots (27), and everyone was really committed to this game. It was a good game for the whole team."
