ST. PAUL, Minn. — Wyatt Johnston<\/a> scored on a power-play deflection at 12:10 of the second overtime to give the Dallas Stars<\/a> a 4-3 victory<\/a> over the Minnesota Wild<\/a> and a 2-1 lead in the first-round series.<\/p>\n

Matt Duchene<\/a> tied it for Dallas on a power play midway through the third period, seconds after his backcheck on Matt Boldy<\/a> averted a short-handed goal that would have put Minnesota up by two.<\/p>\n

After the Wild failed to convert two overtime power plays, finishing 1-for-7 with the man advantage, the Stars took advantage of their opportunity after Danila Yurov<\/a>‘s delay-of-game penalty. Miro Heiskanen<\/a>‘s shot was knocked in by Johnston for his third goal in three games — and his sixth winning goal in four career postseasons.<\/p>\n

“It’s kind of a little blurry, but just trying to get to the net and just trying to get my stick on the puck,” said Johnston, who had a career-high 45 goals during the regular season.<\/p>\n
