Wyatt Johnston scores in OT in Stars’ comeback 4-3 win over Flames

DALLAS (AP) — Wyatt Johnston scored twice, including the overtime winner, to lead the Dallas Stars to the 4-3 win over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night.

Johnston scored 3:39 into overtime on a power-play backhand shot. Jason Robertson and Miro Heiskanen each assisted on the goal.

Justin Hryckowian and Robertson also scored for the Stars (46-20-12).

Zayne Parekh, Yegor Sharangovich and Joel Farabee scored for the Flames (32-36-9), who led 3-1 early in the third period.

But Johnston with his first of the game, and Robertson’s wrist shot 4:51 into the third period sent the game to overtime.

Jake Oettinger stopped 17 shots in the win for the Stars. Devin Cooley made 21 saves for the Flames.

The Stars won 62 per cent of the faceoffs in the game.

Flames defenceman Kevin Bahl left early in the first period with a lower-body injury and did not return.
