In Dallas, the Stars scored three times in the third period to rally for a 4-4 tie with the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night.
Jamie completed the outburst with one second left on the clock to force extra time.
In the extra session, Seattle’s Adam Larsson scored at 2:52 for the 5-4 win.
After the Kraken had taken a 4-2 lead in the third, Joe Pavelski scored to trim the deficit to 4-3 for Dallas at 16:34.
“I loved our will to fight back into the game, we’ve done that all year,” Dallas coach Peter DeBoer said. “Obviously didn’t like our start, I thought we got better as the game went on. Kind of predicted it coming back off the road like we did that we might start slow. You throw in the fact that you’re playing a team you just swept in their building, a motivated group that’s fighting for their playoff life, so I’m not surprised it started the way that it did. It’s an important point for us, I wish we would have got two, but important point.”
The Kraken improved to 39-24-7.
“It was a great team win,” Larsson said. “Even till [the end] I thought we believed. We got a goal called back. There’s no panic either way, and then they came back obviously scored with 0.7 seconds left or whatever it was, that’s a tough break. But we still believed til the end.”
The win pushed the Kraken to within three points of the third place Edmonton Oilers in the Pacific Division.
“We played a full 60-plus minutes,” Seattle coach Dave Hakstol said. “We played hard tonight, played hard all the way through the game. There’s portions of the game where it was up and down, a little bit of a track meet, which isn’t in our favor against that team. At the end of the day, we were able to settle things down well enough. When you give up those two at the end, it can be pretty disappointing, yet we went out and found a way to win it in overtime.”
Joey Daccord made 25 saves in the Seattle win.
Brandon Tanev scored in the first period, his first of two on the night, to give Seattle a 1-0 lead.
“They have a good goaltender, and if he can’t see the puck, it’s harder for him to stop it,” Tanev said. “That was our mindsight all night to make things difficult for him. Get in front of him, create some traffic. I think we did tonight and got some bounces.”
Dallas’ Miro Heiskanen and the Kraken’s Daniel Sprong traded goals for a 2-1 lead to Seattle coming out of the first stanza.
“I think definitely maybe we’ve been a little bit looser defensively, little bit more odd-man rushes for sure,” Stars defenseman Colin Miller said. “Something we’ve got to tighten up. They had some quick forwards, though, so just got to try to keep them in check.”
Jared McCann scored in the second period to extend the Seattle lead to 3-1.In the third, Wyatt Johnson trimmed the Dallas deficit to 3-2.
Tanev then his for his double and a 4-2 advantage before the Stars’ rally.
Jake Oettinger made 22 saves in the loss.
“The guys did a great job, and they deserve better,” Oettinger said. “It’s huge [to get a point] but I’ve let in 10 goals in the last two games, so something needs to change. The guys have scored like crazy and it’s on me to keep the puck out of our net, and I haven’t done that.”
