There aren’t many things that are better than an overtime victory, especially when the Dallas Stars are the team scoring the game winner.
That’s exactly what happened last night when the Stars knocked off the Minnesota Wild deep in the heart of Dallas. Stars captain Jamie Benn picked the top left corner and sniped it past Wild goalie Darcy Kuemper to claim the 3-2 win. The victory was a substantial one for multiple reasons.
First off, it was two points against a divisional opponent that helped improve the Stars’ status in the Central.
