Johnston’s record-setting starter goal came on a shot from the immediate left of the net. The 21-year-old forward already in his 43rd career playoff game was skating toward the back wall and passing the red line when he took the shot that ricocheted off goalie Mackenzie Blackwood.

Wyatt Johnston scored 9 seconds in for the quickest goal ever to start a playoff game for the Dallas Stars, then added another goal and an assist as they beat the Colorado Avalanche 6-2 in Game 5 of their first-round series Monday night.
