Agyemang scored his sixth goal of the season in the 90th.

This is the same Dallas team that ranked third in the NHL and matched Winnipeg atop the West with 3.35 goals a game in the regular season, and was shut out only once. The Stars have four shutout losses this postseason, including in Game 2 their last time at home.Dallas star forward Mikko Rantanen has gone seven games without a goal since scoring nine in a six-game span over their first two rounds. His only longer postseason drought was in the first eight playoff games of his career, in 2018 and 2019 with Colorado.

“This is not the time of year to get frustrated, you’re just going to reset, go back at it,” said Rantanen, who is set to play his 99th career playoff game Thursday. “We know we’re a good team, we just (need to) win one game.”Edmonton has the opportunity for its second consecutive series clincher in a Game 5 on the road, just eight nights afterwith a 1-0 overtime win at Vegas.

“Listen, give them credit. They’re up 3-1, they found a way. This series could be 2-2 easily, too,” Stars coach Pete DeBoer said after his team arrived home Wednesday. “You don’t have to look any further than the Stanley Cup Finals last year. The team we’re playing was down 3-0 and forced a Game 7. So we’ve got to win one game tomorrow night and then you know, kind of do or die in Edmonton in Game 6, and get a Game 7 back here at home.”The Stars have had only one playoff series since 2006 that went fewer than six games. That was when they won the Western Conference final in five games over the DeBoer-coached Golden Knights in the 2020 playoffs.

This is Dallas’ 23rd playoff series since losing five-game series against Colorado in consecutive opening rounds in 2004 and 2006. There were no playoffs in 2005 because of full-season lockout.

Hard-hitting Oilers forward Zach Hyman washit man is given a nightmare final assignment to train his own

replacement in Simon West’s lifeless action-comedy “Old Guy.”Danny Dolinski is the one at an unwelcome crossroads in the film. He’s only partially healed from a hand injury that’s rendered him dependent on pills and unable to aim a gun as well as he used to. Dolinski also seems to be in the throes of a full crisis: We meet him not on the job, or even in flashback to his pre-injury glory, but out clubbing. The next morning, Dolinski emerges in a bathrobe to gaze proudly upon the several much younger women who have spent the night.

But a room full of scantily clothed model-types who seem to be there willingly is only a temporary balm for poor Dolinski. While he might still be a viable specimen for the 20-something party girls of London, his game does not hold the same appeal in the workplace. Soon he’ll be getting the dreaded “we’re going younger” talk from his boss, and she’s talking about him, not his love interests. This is a guy who is certain he’s got a lot left to give in the assassin game, and not as a mentor to a “hitman prodigy,” as Cooper Hoffman’s character Wihlborg is described.Is a familiar conceit like the wise veteran and the cocksure newcomer tired or a classic? Well, it’s all in the execution. And “Old Guy,” stylishly filmed though it may be, is not one of the better attempts, likely hampered by the script from Greg Johnson. Generational clashes should be easy enough comedic fodder for a screenwriter and two capable actors, but here it lands with a thud. One likes to drink! The other doesn’t even like to be around alcohol! The more serious ethical questions about hitman etiquette are similarly inelegant. Take this gem from Wihlborg: “Where I come from one does what one needs to do to survive. That includes killing a kid.”
