Any game that is tied heading into the third period is winnable. After all, it’s basically like nothing has happened before that last 20 minutes, and the last frame’s efforts are the only thing that matters.
In continuing with the Stars recent playing trend, that was bad news bears. It felt more like a matter not of “what will happen” but, rather, the foregone conclusion of a loss was expected, and it was more about how they’d find a way to lose this one tonight.
Bet you didn’t see them winning it less than a minute into overtime off of an incredible pass from Kari Lehtonen to John Klingberg, who hit a streaking Tyler Seguin, who looked shoot the whole time before sliding it across the ice to Alexander Radulov to tap in the winner after Petr Mrazek had committed to Seguin’s shot.
