Apr 7, 2026 | 8:12 PM

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.
