Later in the period, John Klingberg was able to get the puck on net and Tyler Seguin was able to get the deflection to tie the game at 3. The game would end up going to OT after the goal. This is not what the Stars were hoping for.

Unfortunately, the Stars were not able to win the game in the shootout and only managed to come away with one point. Fans should be happy that the Stars didn’t give up after the second period and decided to make it a game. Stars have a quick turnaround as they play the Calgary Flames Thursday night.
