DALLAS (AP) – Antoine Roussel had his first career hat trick, Jamie Benn scored 3:47 into overtime and the Dallas Stars rallied to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-3 on Saturday night.
Tampa Bay dominated the extra period until Benn passed to Cody Eakin, took a return drop pass and sent a shot past Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy.
Roussel, a fan favorite in Dallas, scored the team’s first three goals as the Stars came back from deficits of 2-0 and 3-2. His first two goals came six minutes apart in the first period, and his third tied the game 3-all at 4:40 of the third.
Tyler Seguin assisted on all three of Roussel’s goals.
Victor Hedman had two goals and an assist for Tampa Bay. Tyler Johnson added a goal and an assist.
Dallas, last in the NHL in penalty killing, allowed goals on both Lightning power plays.WHAT OTHERS ARE CLICKING ON RIGHT NOW
