What a way to start.
It took the Dallas Stars just nine seconds to find the net in a crucial Game 5 matchup against the Colorado Avalanche. Stars center Wyatt Johnston was able to slip one past Avs goalie Mackenzie Blackwood to score what’s officially the fastest goal in Stars playoff history, giving Dallas a very early 1-0 lead.
In a flash. 👀⚡

This comes after a Game 4 loss in which the Stars were blanked by the Avalanche, shut out for 60 minutes in a 4-0 throttling.
Dallas may have made a statement with their quick strike this time around.
Oh my goodness.
Wyatt Johnston gets his first goal of the playoffs nine seconds into this game.
Now, that's how you start!
1-0 Stars
Florida and Tampa Bay each scored a pair of goals 11 seconds apart in their game. The Stars scored 9 seconds after the opening face off. Don’t blink, something might happen in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Don't know if I've ever seen a goal scored before starting goalies were introduced. 👀
That's the fastest goal to begin a #StanleyCup Playoffs game in @DallasStars history! 🤩#NHLStats: https://t.co/4w2VrsUJHr https://t.co/TZ5AlOh7Gc pic.twitter.com/U9WGHcZjpD
