Good Goaltending Last Night Plus Keeping UFAs
from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
Jonathan Bernier stopped the first 43 shots fired at him on Saturday and a career-high 50 through regulation.
Then, wouldn’t you know it, Jamie Benn scored on the first shot of overtime to lift the Dallas Stars past the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 at Little Caesars Arena.
Such is the nature of three-on-three OT, when turnovers more often than not lead to odd-man rushes, resulting in quality scoring chances.
Still, the Red Wings had no business being in overtime after Dallas tilted the rink during the first two periods and held a 51-17 edge in shots after 60 minutes.
Bernier stole a point for his team.
