Stars get past Flames in overtime

Tyler Seguin scored in overtime and added an assist as the Dallas Stars survived blowing a third-period lead to beat the Calgary Flames 43 on Wednesday night.

Twenty-four seconds into extra time, Jamie Benn knocked the puck into the slot where Seguin was wide open and he put a perfect shot inside the goal post on David Rittich.

Rittich argued he had been interfered with by Benn but after video review the referees allowed the goal.

Jason Spezza, Benn and Gavin Bayreuther also scored for Dallas (13-10-3), which snaps a four-game winless skid on the road.

Garnet Hathaway, with his first in 16 games, Johnny Gaudreau and Mark Giordano scored for Calgary (14-9-2). The Flames are 4-1-1 in their last six.

Trailing 2-1, the Flames took their first lead midway through the third period on goals 1:10 apart.

Gaudreau tied it, firing a shot top corner for a power-play goal at 9:41. Giordano made it 3-2 with a similar-looking shot from a similar spot, again beating Anton Khudobin with a rising shot over his glove.

But the Stars got it back to even less than three minutes later. Matthew Tkachuk’s clearing attempt went on to the stick of Bayreuther and the rookie defenceman fired his second of the season past Rittich.

Khudobin got the start once again in the absence of Ben Bishop (lower body), who is expected back on Saturday after missing the last five games.

The 32-year-old Russian also started in Edmonton on Monday, making 30 stops in a 10 overtime loss.

He made 30 saves once again to improve to 5-5-2.

Getting the start over veteran Mike Smith, Rittich finished with 24 saves. He falls to 8-2-1.

Notes: The Stars improve to 6-1-1 in their last eight games at the Saddledome... Calgary LW Michael Frolik (lower body) is back skating. He’s missed four games... Defenceman Dalton Prout rejoined the Flames after an AHL conditioning stint.
