Mason Marchment faced a tense moment during the final seconds of regulation as he received a double-minor for high-sticking, placing his team, the Dallas Stars, at a disadvantage. However, the Stars' penalty kill stepped up, remaining perfect throughout the game. Just two minutes into overtime, Marchment redeemed himself by assisting Tyler Seguin for the game-winning goal, leading the Stars to a 2-1 victory and a crucial 2-1 series lead in their playoff matchup against the Colorado Avalanche.

Coach Pete DeBoer highlighted the team’s resilience, reflecting on their journey through injuries and a challenging schedule. Despite trailing for most of the series, the Stars have demonstrated remarkable tenacity, coming back from third-period deficits and winning both overtime games. Jamie Benn, breaking a 19-game goal drought, and Seguin, returning from surgery, have also contributed significantly. The victory reclaimed home-ice advantage, positioning Dallas favorably as they aim for their postseason milestone.
