It also felt like some sort of tribute to General Manager Jim Nill, by way of throwback to 2013. The only goals scored in the Stars’ 2-1 victory over the Avalanche in a game the Stars never led until it was over came from Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn and Val Nichushkin.

For the second straight game, the Dallas Stars found a way to beat the Colorado Avalanche in overtime. The Stars sealed the 2-1 victory just 5:13 into OT, instead of nearly the whole extra period like they did in Game 2.
