Dallas Stars Beat Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 in Overtime Despite Allowing Three Short-Handed Goals

Stars' Joe Pavelski scores decisive goal for a seventh consecutive win over Flyers, overcoming worst-ever power play meltdown in team history.

  • The Dallas Stars beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 in overtime, securing a seventh consecutive victory over the Flyers despite the Stars' worst-ever power play meltdown which resulted in three short-handed goals.
  • Stars' player Joe Pavelski scored 2:12 into overtime sealing the victory. This achievement comes despite the Stars giving up three short-handed goals for the first time in the team's history, partially due to 13 turnovers against one for Philadelphia.
  • During the match, Flyers' Travis Konecny succeeded in scoring two of the three short-handed goals. The Flyers managed to tie the game late into the final frame before Pavelski's decisive goal.
  • 20-year old Wyatt Johnston, a major contributor to Dallas’ run to the Western Conference Final last season, shone with a goal and two assists, aiding in Pavelski’s winning score.
  • As part of the Stars' woes, their puck management was pointed out by their coach Pete DeBoer as 'horrendous' and something that the team needs to figure out.
