CALGARY – Tyler Seguin scored in overtime and added a pbad as the Dallas Stars survived by scoring a third-period lead to beat the Calgary Flames 4 to 3 on Wednesday night.
After twenty-four seconds of overtime, Jamie Benn propelled the puck into the slot where Seguin was wide open and he managed a perfect shot inside the goal post on David Rittich.
Rittich claimed that Benn had interfered, but after viewing the video, the referees granted the goal.
Jason Spezza, Benn and Gavin Bayreuther also scored for Dallas (13-10-3), resulting in a winless skid on the road.
