Jake Allen kept his cool. But you might easily read the disappointment on his face. In his eyes, Tyler Seguin kept him from moving on John Klingberg’s game-winning goal in overtime.

“I’m not a guy who gets carried away with controversy,” Allen said. I’m a keeper and I don’t want to complain. I would like to see the final game once more. But Seguin is behind me and he finds himself in the circle. It kept me from rolling over and turning my blocker. If it’s not obstruction, I don’t know what can be described as obstruction once morest a goalie. After the goal, one of the two referees told me that he thought there was obstruction. »
“When I look at him, you see the player in the circle, added Martin St-Louis. It’s not a decision I like, but in my young career as a coach, I have to respect it a bit. I won’t say more. »
Allen confident
NHL officials reviewed the game-clinching goal and ultimately opted to keep the decision on the ice. Klingberg scored the winning goal in a 4-3 win once morest the Canadian.
At the heart of rumors for several weeks, Klingberg acted as a key player in this match with two goals and an assist. The Swedish defender also scored the equalizer late in the third period. In overtime, the Stars’ No. 3 also put his team in trouble with a penalty once morest Mike Hoffman.
On his return to the game following a long absence of two months, Allen has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of his performance with 23 saves, but several spectacular ones.
A first for Schueneman
Cole Caufield (1 goal, 1 assist) and Nick Suzuki (1 goal, 1 assist) continued their good work in this loss once morest the Texas formation. The dynamic duo once once more carried the team’s attack on their shoulders.
Martin St-Louis had the good idea to replace Caufield on the left of Suzuki with Joel Armia to complete the trio in the absence of Josh Anderson.
Corey Schueneman had a magical moment once morest the Stars. Midway through the third period, the 26-year-old defenseman scored his first NHL goal with a good point shot to beat Jake Oettinger.
“I heard a fan shouting in the stands for me to take a shot. It’s thanks to him, he said with a smile. He was in Section 14.”
Schueneman will eventually know the Bell Center, but there is no section 14. But we will salute his sense of humor.

What we noticed…
In pain
Brendan Gallagher has always played with heart. With him, it’s 100% dedication and commitment as soon as he steps on the ice. But it also comes with risks, like injuries. In the second period, Gallagher fell behind Jake Oettinger’s net following contact from Radek Faksa. The center of the Stars struck him a blow at the height of the ribs. Number 11 grimaced as he got up and then made his way to the locker room. He was, however, back at his post for the start of the third period.
The Roope Hintz Menace
Jim Nill will still pay a fortune to Tyler Seguin (9.85 million until 2026-2027) and Jamie Benn (9.5 M until 2024-2025). However, he must console himself a little by looking at the contract of Roope Hintz (3.15 M until 2022-2023). Hintz, who amassed 49 points in 57 games, had a strong game once morest CH. In the first half, the Finn had two good scoring chances once morest Allen.
big minutes
With the departure of Ben Chiarot, there is a gigantic piece of pie to redistribute with the other defenders. In only his third game this season due to a serious back injury, Joel Edmundson saw his responsibilities increase with an playing time of 24:23. He played nearly five minutes shorthanded.
