Dallas Stars erase two-goal deficit, beat Edmonton Oilers in shootout
EDMONTON — The Dallas Stars’ playoff prospects are looking a lot more secure of late.
Jamie Benn scored the shootout winner as the Stars came from behind to beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Thursday, pushing Dallas closer to punching a post-season ticket.
“There was no panic,” Benn said of his team being down 2-0 early in the second. “Obviously we took responsibility for our play in the first and it wasn’t good enough. We wanted to come out in the second and be tighter and better and then we won the third period and took advantage in the shootout. We’ll take the two points and move on.”
