Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.
Especially when you’ve lost four games in a row.
The Dallas Stars’ first goal against the Flames at American Airlines Center on Tuesday night certainly fit that description. In the middle of the first period, Tyler Seguin stole the puck behind the net in the offensive zone and slung it across the front of the goal mouth.
It wasn’t a particularly elegant pass, but it managed to find its way off the skate of Jamie Benn and into the back of the net.
