DALLAS -- Peter DeBoer is aware of the Game 7 success he's had in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

"Let's hope the streak continues," the Dallas Stars coach said Sunday of his 6-0 record in Game 7, the best in NHL history (minimum five games).

DeBoer will look to extend the streak when the Stars host the Seattle Kraken in Game 7 of the Western Conference Second Round on Monday (8 p.m. ET; ESPN, SN, TVAS). The winner will face the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Final.

DeBoer's Game 7 results have come with three teams: the New Jersey Devils (1-0 in 2012), San Jose Sharks (1-0 in 2016, 2-0 in 2019) and Golden Knights (1-0 in 2020, 1-0 in 2021).

Two coaches have had Game 7 wins with four teams: Darryl Sutter (8-3 with the Calgary Flames, Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings and Sharks) and Scotty Bowman (6-3 with the Buffalo Sabres, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, Pittsburgh Penguins and St. Louis Blues).

In NHL history, home teams are 112-81 (.580) in 193 Game 7s, including 1-2 in 2023.

Though DeBoer has a perfect Game 7 record, the Stars franchise has had mixed results.

The Stars/Minnesota North Stars are 6-9 (.400) in Game 7, including 3-3 at home. Last season, Dallas lost 3-2 in overtime to Calgary on the road in Game 7 of the first round. In 2020, Joel Kiviranta had a hat trick, including an overtime goal, to give the Stars a 5-4 road win against the Colorado Avalanche in Game 7 of the second round.

That season, the Stars advanced to the Stanley Cup Final before losing to the Tampa Bay Lightning in six games.

DeBoer said he won't need to say much to get the Stars ready for this Game 7.

"We'll have meetings, but we've got great experience in that dressing room," DeBoer said. "Joe Pavelski, Ryan Suter, Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, those guys have played lots of Game 7s in their career and have risen to the occasion on a lot of different teams and at different times. They'll drive the bus for our group messaging-wise, and I've got great trust in them. They've been there, they've done that, they know what to do."

Dallas will try to learn from, and not repeat, the mistakes of Game 6, a 6-3 road loss Saturday. The Stars just didn't have the performance needed for an elimination game, especially in the first period.

After holding the Kraken in check for Games 4 and 5, winning those games by a combined 11-5, the Stars allowed three straight goals over the first and second periods in Game 6 and trailed 4-1 4:23 into the second.

"I think we're fine," Benn, the Dallas captain, said after Game 6. "Just get back to doing things the right way."

The Stars know what's at stake. It's going to be difficult upending the Kraken, who eliminated in the defending Stanley Cup champion Avalanche in the first round, winning Game 7 on the road.

But the Stars have home ice and are ready for the challenge.

"What a great opportunity," DeBoer said. "Win one game at home in front of our own fans and move on. That's what the NHL playoffs are all about. I can't wait."

The Vegas Golden Knights will play the Dallas Stars or the Seattle Kraken in the Western Conference Final.

Vegas eliminated the Edmonton Oilers with a 5-2 win in Game 6 of the second round on Sunday to advance to the conference final for the first time since 2021.

The Golden Knights (51-22-9), the No. 1 seed in the Pacific Division, will have home-ice advantage against the Stars (47-21-14), the No. 2 seed in the Central Division, or the Kraken (46-28-8), the second wild card from the West. That best-of-7 series is tied with Game 7 in Dallas on Monday.

Jack Eichel leads the Golden Knights in the playoffs with 14 points (six goals, eight assists), Mark Stone has 12 points (five goals, seven assists) and Chandler Stephenson (six goals, four assists) and Jonathan Marchessault (five goals, five assists) each has 10 points.

Adin Hill is 3-1 with a 2.25 goals-against average and .937 save percentage, starting the past three games with Laurent Brossoit (5-2, 3.18 GAA, .894 save percentage) injured.

The Golden Knights went 0-1-2 against the Stars this season, losing 4-0 at home on Jan. 16, 3-2 in a shootout at home on Feb. 25 and 2-1 in a shootout in Dallas on April 8. Eichel, Michael Amadio and Brett Howden scored the three goals for the Golden Knights against the Stars during the regular season and nine players each had one point.

Three different goalies started each game against the Stars. Logan Thompson made 32 saves in the 4-0 loss, Brossoit made 41 saves in the 3-2 shootout loss and Jonathan Quick made 24 saves in the 2-1 shootout loss.

Jamie Benn (one goal, two assists) and Ty Dellandrea (three assists) each had three points against the Golden Knights in the regular season and Joel Kiviranta had two goals.

Jake Oettinger started each of the three games, going 3-0-0 with a 0.96 GAA, .967 save percentage and one shutout.

Vegas and Dallas have played once in the playoffs before, the 2020 Western Conference Final, won by Dallas in five games.

The Golden Knights went 3-1-0 against the Kraken this season, including wins in their final two games of the regular season, 4-1 at home on April 11 and 3-1 on the road on April 13. Reilly Smith had five points (three goals, two assists), and Shea Theodore had four points (one goal, three assists). Marchessault had three goals.

Brossoit was 2-0-0 making 50 saves on 52 shots for a 1.00 GAA and .962 save percentage. Hill was 1-1-0 with a 3.04 GAA and .902 save percentage.

Jaden Schwartz had three points (two goals, one assist) against the Golden Knights this season, and Yanni Gourde and Justin Schultz each had a goal and an assist.

Philipp Grubauer was 1-1-0 with a 1.73 GAA and .913 save percentage in three games (two starts), and Martin Jones allowed five goals on 24 shots in his only start, a 5-2 loss on Oct. 15.

Vegas and Seattle have never played in the postseason.

The Golden Knights have advanced to the third round of the playoffs four times in their six NHL seasons. They last advanced to the Stanley Cup Final in their inaugural season, losing to the Washington Capitals in five games in 2018.

The revamped XFL was designed to give players the best chance of making the NFL, and just as the league wrapped up its first season back, it's already becoming a success.

Quarterback Ben DiNucci is signing with the Denver Broncos, according to multiple reports. ESPN was first to report the news.

The signing comes less than two weeks after DiNucci was invited to Broncos minicamp. He was among the 19 players from the XFL that received tryouts with NFL teams during upcoming minicamps, the league announced on May 4.

DiNucci will join the quarterback room alongside Russell Wilson, the starting signal caller who will be entering the second year of his five-year, $245 million deal. Other quarterbacks on the roster include Brett Rypien and Jarrett Guarantano.

What to know about Ben DiNucci

Out of James Madison University, DiNucci was a seventh-round selection in the 2020 NFL draft by the Dallas Cowboys. He appeared in two games in the 2020 season, including starting a 23-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 1, 2020. In his career, he went 23-for-43 for 219 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions.

The quarterback was waived by the Cowboys during training camp in 2022, and was later allocated to the Seattle Sea Dragons of the XFL. He led the XFL in passing yards with 2,671, throwing 20 touchdown passes, but also a league-high 13 interceptions.

XFL tryouts

Several XFL players received tryouts from NFL teams after the regular season ended, including quarterback Jack Coan (New York Jets), receiver/return specialist Darrius Shepherd (Detroit Lions) and receiver Hakeem Butler (Pittsburgh Steelers).

The XFL season ended Saturday, as the Arlington Renegades defeated the D.C. Defenders 35-26 in the championship game played at San Antonio's Alamodome.

Two nights earlier, the Stars had fended off elimination at the hands of the Pacific Division's top regular season team in a triumphant 4-2 win. In an unexpected twist, a scrappy Dallas wild card team had forced a winner-take-all showdown north of the border.

So, when they fell in a lopsided Game 6 on Saturday, there was a familiar anticipation in the air. Sure, the roles have reversed. Dallas now finds themselves in Calgary's shoes as a top seed heading home for the deciding game. Meanwhile, Seattle occupies the wild card "underdog" role.

Regardless of the roles, the story remains the same. The Kraken came to play with their lives on the line and outworked the Stars to even the series.

"They came out hard and outbattled us the whole game," Stars defenseman Esa Lindell said.

DAL@SEA Postgame: Esa Lindell

The Kraken once again used a quick attack and built a 4-1 lead just over 24 minutes into the game. They potted the first goal and didn't crumble when the Stars found an immediate answer. Instead, they stuck to their aggressive and speedy style, outshooting Dallas 16-5 in the first period.

"We knew they were going to come out fast," Stars coach Pete DeBoer said. "When the other team is hungry like that in an elimination game and you're on the road, you have to at least be the smarter team with the puck. We compounded our mistakes and fed their energy in the first period."

"They keep coming at you in waves," Stars captain Jamie Benn added. "Give them credit. Seems like when they get one, they get it going."

For the second consecutive year, the Stars will play a Game 7 on May 15. And for their fourth straight trip to the Second Round, 7 games will be required to determine a winner.

It's a position the Stars have recently come to know quite well.

And while entering on a loss may seem uncomfortable, the Stars have proven sturdy with their backs against the wall. In this year's playoffs, they are 4-0 following a loss with a goal differential of +10. So, they have a proven ability to quickly extinguish adversity.

A lot of that confidence sprouts from Jake Oettinger. The 23-year-old is 21-1-3 following a loss this year. He responds to adversity with a rare swagger and doesn't let it bubble. And after being pulled just 24:23 into Game 6, the hope is he will be fresh and refocused for another big Game 7 showing.

And with the first six games in the rearview, there's no time or reason to dwell on the past. Game 7 offers an opportunity to flush the rest of the series and focus solely on the game at hand. It's one game for all the marbles.

"Anything can happen in a Game 7 here," Benn said. "We're going to move on quick and get ready for a big game."

It's an environment that Pete DeBoer knows well too. In his 15 years as an NHL head coach, he's been behind the bench for six Game 7's. He's a perfect 6-0 in those contests. That's tied for the second-most wins by any coach in NHL history. For a coach with 75 career playoff wins, he knows how to handle pressure and adapt accordingly.

And in his first season with the Stars, he'll have a chance to keep his streak rolling with a big game on home ice.

"It's the reason you play all season, to have home ice in a Game 7 like this," DeBoer said. "We've earned that and hopefully we'll use it to our benefit."

But perhaps the most intriguing storyline revolves around the Stars' opportunity to rewrite their own Game 7 history.

Since moving to Dallas in 1993, they are 3-5 overall in Game 7's. But since defeating Colorado in both 1999 and 2000 to advance to the Stanley Cup Final, they are 1-4. But each of the past three have required overtime, so the dramatic flair is there.

In total, the Stars have only played one Game 7 at the American Airlines Center. It was back in 2016 against the Blues, and they finished on the wrong end of a 6-1 score. So, the home ice factor is prevalent.

"That's what you work for all year," Benn said. "Try to get as high as you can in the standings for situations like this. I'm sure it's going to be crazy there."

It's a chance to flip a frustrating narrative and keep a season filled with expectations alive. It's an opportunity to let veterans like Joe Pavelski, Ryan Suter, Jamie Benn, and Tyler Seguin set the tone both in the room and on the ice. It's a chance to buy back into the theme of resilience and continue using their strengths and depth to their advantage.

But most of all, it's a Game 7. There's only so much that can be said or extrapolated. At its roots, it's one game to decide whether you punch your ticket to the Western Conference Final or head home for a long summer hovering around unfulfilled hopes.

Sure, it may be nerve-wracking, but that's what makes the Stanley Cup Playoffs so special.

"Excited," DeBoer said about the prospect of a Game 7. "Win one game at home in front of our own fans and move on. That's what the NHL playoffs are all about. I can't wait."
