"A couple of times Jamie was banging his stick and looking at me," Stars coach Jim Montgomery said. "They wanted it, they felt it."
That was apparent. Radulov scored two goals, Seguin had a goal and an assist, and Benn had three assists in a 5-3 win at Bridgestone Arena. The Stars lead the best-of-7 series 3-2 with Game 6 at Dallas on Monday (8:30 p.m. ET; CNBC, SN1, TVAS, FS-SW, FS-TN).

Benn, Radulov and Seguin have combined for 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) in the series. Benn has six points (one goal, five assists), Radulov has five points (four goals, one assist), and Seguin has five points (two goals, three assists). The Predators have had no answer for them, and it didn't help that Nashville had 19 giveaways in Game 5.
"You know they're dangerous players," Predators coach Peter Laviolette said. "It seems like the mistakes we made, they were obvious tonight, and they were in the back of our net. I don't feel like it was a point where we were under siege, I just felt like when we made a mistake, it was costly, and it turned over quick and had a result at the end of it."
Stars forward Jason Dickinson scored his first two Stanley Cup Playoff goals, and Ben Bishop made 30 saves on the day he was named a finalist for the Vezina Trophy, given annually to the goalie voted the best at his position.
