Mathew Dumba scores twice, as Winterhawks’ monumental comeback forces Game 7: Sunday’s 3 Stars

No. 1 star: Mathew Dumba, Portland Winterhawks (WHL)

There will be one more awkward shared charter flight in the Dub final. The Winterhawks, starting with Dumba's power-play goal 2:57 into the third, pulled off a four-goal comeback to beat the Edmonton Oil Kings 6-5 in overtime on Game 6.

The some 12,000 fans at Rexall Place probably anticipated a three-goal lead was in capable hands, given Edmonton's proficiency with a shutdown a hockey. But Dumba (2G, -3), the Minnesota Wild prospect, got a shot through to cut the margin to 5-3. The 19-year-old Calgarian, along with Derrick Pouliot (1G-2A, +2), helped Portland sustain pressure and momentum throughout the final period as the Winterhawks chipped away. Keoni Texeira scored with 13:51 left to create a one-goal separation, then Pouliot got the fifth goal of the day from a Winterhawks D-man with 8:46 left to force overtime.

Phoenix Coyotes-drafted goalie Brendan Burke made 29 saves after coming in at the start of the second period, including a game-saver early on in the overtime. At 7:23, his crease counterpart Tristan Jarry misplayed a puck and Dominic Turgeon quickly got on it and passed to Keegan Iverson, who tipped in the winner. The teams will play Game 7 on Monday.

No. 2 star: Ryan Graves, Val-d'Or Foreurs (QMJHL)

Graves (1G-2A, +4) is normally more of a stopper on the blueline than a scorer, but the 18-year-old got three points in the third as Val-d'Or pulled off a 6-3 series-tying Game 6 home win over Baie-Comeau, which forces the Quebec League championship to a decider on Monday night.

Pierre-Maxime Poudrier (2G-1A, +2) and Anthony Richard, with his 10th of the playoffs, staked Val-d'Or to a quick 2-0 lead with its season on the line. Baie-Comeau got those goals back, which surely evoked the memory of the previous game in the Foreurs' den, when it lost in overtime despite never trailing in regulation time. However, with 11:34 left, overage defenceman Guillaume Gélinas broke free for a go-ahead short-handed goal.

Graves, a New York Rangers pick, got a helper on an insurance goal with 8:39 to play. Baie-Comeau pulled a goal back 32 seconds later, but then Graves picked a perfect moment to jump into the attack and convert a setup from Anthony Mantha to open a 5-3 lead with 4:39 to play. Just for good measure, Graves assisted on Poudrier's last-minute empty-netter.

No. 3 star: Henrik Samuelsson, Edmonton Oil Kings (WHL)

Remember when Samuelsson (2G-1A, -1) was in a goal drought? Not anymore. The Phoenix Coyotes first-rounder scored two goals in 86 seconds during the first period, helping Edmonton get out to an early 3-0 lead. That wasn't the first three-goal cushion the Oil Kings would fail to keep, though.

Samuelsson has six goals in as many games during the final after tallying only twice in Edmonton's first three series.

Honourable mention: Keegan Iverson, Portland Winterhawks (WHL)

Iverson scoring the winner for Portland was a redemption story. The sophomore wing gave the puck away most egregiously on the play that led to Ottawa Senators first-rounder Curtis Lazar putting Edmonton ahead 4-2, just 45 seconds after Portland had pulled within a goal. Edgars Kulda struck on the heels of the Lazar strike to give Edmonton its second three-goal lead, and it appeared Iverson would be a series goat. However, the 18-year-old from St. Louis Park, Minn., shook it off and wound up capping off the comeback.
