DALLAS -- Jean-Sebastien Giguere finally looked like the goaltender the Dallas Stars pounded in the regular season, not the brilliant postseason record-setter he's become.
Facing elimination, the top-seeded Stars got early goals from Rob DiMaio and Stu Barnes, then a short-handed goal from rookie Niko Kapanen, to knock out Giguere after two periods and beat the Anaheim Mighty Ducks 4-1 Saturday in Game 5 of their second-round series.
Anaheim still leads the series 3-2. The Ducks will try again to advance to the Western Conference finals in Game 6 at home Monday night.
Giguere gave up three goals on 19 shots and opened the third period on the bench while Martin Gerber played.
It was a stunning reversal for a goalie whose postseason statistics coming in were among the best in the NHL's modern era: a goals-against average of 1.27 and a .960 save percentage. He was even coming off a shutout in his previous game.
Instead, he looked like the guy Dallas blistered for seven goals in a little more than four periods in two regular season games back in October and November.
Kapanen also was part of the penalty-kill unit that went 6-for-6 after allowing power-play goals in each of the last three games.
Midway through the first, Mike Modano fed DiMaio at the right edge of the crease and the puck went in off his skate for a 1-0 lead.
Dallas goes ahead by 2
Dallas went up by two goals for the first time this series five minutes later, when Barnes scored off another nice pass, this time by Pierre Turgeon.
Late in the second, Kapanen went end-to-end with the puck and shuffled it under Giguere with help from Paul Kariya's stick.
Kariya later scored for Anaheim, knocking in a rebound early in the third period to make it 3-1.
That was the only time the Ducks got anything past Dallas' Marty Turco, who made 14 saves.
Senators 5, Flyers 2
OTTAWA -- Radek Bonk and Marian Hossa each had a pair of power-play points, and Ottawa overcame an early deficit with five straight goals.
The Senators lead the series 3-2 and can advance to the Eastern Conference finals against New Jersey with a win at Philadelphia Monday.
Bonk and Daniel Alfredsson scored quickly on Ottawa's first two power plays, with Hossa assisting on both goals. The Senators are 7-0 in these playoffs when they manage to score. All three of their losses have come by shutout.
Patrick Lalime made 17 saves, and Bryan Smolinski, Martin Havlat, and Peter Schaefer also scored for Ottawa, which moved within one game of advancing past the second round for the first time in the Senators' 11-year history.
Claude Lapointe and Radovan Somik scored for Philadelphia. Lapointe scored his second goal of the playoffs just 21 seconds in as the Flyers opened the scoring for the fifth straight game.
