Wyatt Johnston nets OT winner as Stars rally past Flames

Wyatt Johnston's second goal of the game was the overtime winner to give the host Dallas Stars a 4-3 comeback victory over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday.

Jason Robertson collected one goal and one assist while Justin Hryckowian added a single for Dallas (46-20-12, 104 points), who maintain their hold on the second spot in the Central Division.

Goaltender Jake Oettinger made 17 saves while his team erased a two-goal third-period deficit.

Joel Farabee, Yegor Sharangovich and Zayne Parekh replied for the Flames (32-36-9, 73 points).

Adam Klapka collected a pair of assists and goalie Devin Cooley stopped 21 shots. Cooley faced 15 shots through regulation and 10 in overtime, 10 while the Stars had a power play that eventually made the difference.

Calgary's Ryan Strome was handed a double-minor for a high stick early in the overtime and the Stars turned the game into a shooting gallery before Johnston ended it by lifting a back-hand offering at 3:39 of the extra period.

It ended a back-and-forth affair.

After a low-event first period in which the clubs combined for only six shots on net, Hryckowian opened the scoring at 4:30 of the second period by going on the spot when a point shot went wide and bounced to the front of the net.

The Flames responded with a trio of goals. Farabee tied the clash at 12:38 of the frame by jumping on a rebound after Klapka's partial breakaway chance was stopped.

Sharangovich put Calgary ahead late in the frame when his shot ricocheted off a defender and into the cage.

Then Parekh made it a 3-1 affair by burying a wrist shot from the left circle for the power-play goal 26 seconds into the third period.

That ignited the sluggish Stars. Johnston made it a one-goal game by pouncing on a loose puck at 1:16 of the frame.

Robertson tied the clash when he drove to the net and redirected Matt Duchene's pass at 4:51.

Flames defenseman Kevin Bahl left the game in the first period due to a lower-body injury.
