Seguin's OT Goal Leads Stars to 2-1 Series Edge Over Avalanche

Tyler Seguin scored the overtime winner to lift the Dallas Stars to a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche in Game 3, giving Dallas a 2-1 lead in their playoff series. The win came after the Stars successfully killed a crucial double-minor penalty late in regulation and into overtime. Colorado initially led after a first-period goal by Valeri Nichushkin, but Dallas captain Jamie Benn tied the game in the third period. The game also marked the return of Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog, who played his first NHL game in over 1,000 days following a long injury absence, though he did not record a shot. Despite multiple power play opportunities, Colorado failed to convert, finishing 0-for-6 with the man advantage. With two straight overtime wins, Dallas has seized momentum in the series as they look to advance further in the playoffs.
