They did that by pushing hard to create as many scoring chances as possible, and they cashed in when the Benn line connected at even strength. Tyler Seguin flew down the right wing and found Denis Gurianov crashing the net. The two made a bang-bang play, and Gurianov had the game-tying goal with six minutes left in regulation.
It was a great sign from a second line that's starting to add to the scoring depth of the team.
"When they're both skating like that, the chemistry falls into place," Bowness said of Seguin and Benn. "When one of them isn't skating, it doesn't, and Denis was flying tonight, which was good to see, and we needed that. That's the best I've seen Jamie skate for a while, and Seguin was skating as well, so we've said all along we need secondary scoring, and we can't rely on Roope's line every night to make a difference, and tonight Seguin's line made the difference."
That same combination clicked in overtime, as Seguin deflected in a puck that had to be confirmed by review. That was an ironically sweet moment, seeing how the high stick on Benn wasn't a reviewable play.
But again, there's definitely more than one answer out there for this team.
For one, it's winning in overtime when it didn't last season. Dallas is now 7-1 in overtime, including two wins over the Jets.
