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.

Tyler Seguin scored at 5:31 of overtime after the Stars killed a late double-minor penalty, and Dallas beat Colorado 2-1 in Game 3 Wednesday night in a contest that featured the return of Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog.

The Dallas Stars notched together two straight wins, and they have found themselves ahead early on in the series after a pair of overtime wins. While the Stars find themselves ahead in the series. The ways in which they have found their offense has remained at times random.
