Season series:
Even 1-1

Power play:

Buffalo 13.5% (21th)

Penalty killing:
Dallas 86.5% (6th)
Buffalo 86.2% (7th)

Outlook:
This year's finals will be a battle of goalies and defense. Both teams are very defense oriented with a very good goaltending. Buffalo's Dominik Hasek has won practically everything in hockey except the Cup. Ed Belfour of Dallas has been a top goalie in the league for years, but never won the Cup and many say he hasn't what it takes to go all the way. The series will be low-scoring and Dallas' veteran team probably will have the patience to grind their way to the ultimate goal.
