Overview
- Seth Jarvis returned from an eight-game absence with an upper-body injury and scored on a misplay that ended Jake Oettinger's night.
- Brandon Bussi started for Carolina and made 19 saves, with Oettinger pulled after facing 15 shots and Casey DeSmith taking over for Dallas.
- Logan Stankoven scored against his former team following last year's deal that sent Mikko Rantanen to Dallas.
- Rantanen was booed throughout his return and later scored early in the third period.
- Jason Robertson was credited with Dallas' first goal after a bizarre play in which a puck apparently stuck in Bussi's sleeve flipped into the net.
