John Klingberg took a pass from across the ice from Alexander Radulov and scored with 2:58 left in overtime to give the Dallas Stars a 2-1 victory over the Nashville Predators Monday night at American Airlines Center.

The Stars advanced in the NHL playoffs for the first time since 2016. It’s the first time they’ve clinched a series on home ice since 2008.
