The Detroit Red Wings secured a thrilling 6-4 victory over the Dallas Stars, propelled by Moritz Seider's power-play goal that broke the tie early in the third period. Lucas Raymond added another goal, and Vladimir Tarasenko sealed the win with an empty-netter. The Stars attempted a comeback, with Wyatt Johnston scoring late in the game, but it wasn't enough. Dallas's Jamie Benn remains one goal shy of his 400th career goal, having a tally rescinded due to a scoring change.

Despite the win, the Red Wings are still facing the reality of a nine-year playoff drought, while the Stars prepare for a postseason matchup against the Colorado Avalanche. This loss marks the Stars' sixth straight game without a win under coach Peter DeBoer, a troubling trend as they head into the playoffs. The performance of goaltender Jake Oettinger, who made 31 saves, will be critical for Dallas's success against the Avalanche.
