The Dallas Stars won in overtime 4-3 against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night. The game had every aspect of hockey that fans could ask for. Wild (no pun intended) momentum swings, breakaways, special teams, mad scrambles around the net, and ludicrous saves.
The game was on national television, NBCSN. The Stars have had mixed results in terms of quality broadcasting on NBCSN, but Dave Strader saved the day. The broadcast itself was solid as long as you had something else to do during intermission.
The first period started slow for the Stars, giving up a pseudo breakaway to Erik Haula.
