The Stars’s final road game of the season ended in a loss, as the Lightning picked up a 6-3 victory.
The Stars had the chance once again to be a spoiler on Sunday, one night after unofficially ending the late-season run of the Carolina Hurricanes. A Dallas victory may have been the final nail in the Lightning season as well.
But two goals called back—Gemel Smith’s second of the game was ruled offside, and Tyler Seguin’s third-period tally was a high stick—helped the Lightning prevail and stay in the playoff hunt.
Lindy Ruff shared his frustration with the game’s officiating.
