We were down 3-0 for a reason.”Kane got his 16th goal 1:56 into the second period, skating down the slot and lifting a backhand into the net.Dallas got on the board at 8:15 when Seguin converted a wrist shot off a pass from Jamie Benn.In the first minute of the third period, Benn hit the left post with a shot.
