The Stars lost Game 1 in double overtime and lost veteran leader Joe Pavelski to injury, but they believe they can rebound in their First Round playoff series with the Minnesota Wild.
Ryan Hartman was able to pounce on a loose puck and flip in the game-winner at 12:20 of the second overtime to forge a 3-2 win at American Airlines Center, and that became one of the biggest moments of the game. However, Pavelski left the game in the second period after a hit by Wild defenseman Matt Dumba, and that also became a major part of the evening.
