Wyatt Johnston's double OT deflection gives Stars 4-3 win over Wild in Game 3
to take series lead

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) --- Wyatt Johnston scored on a power-play deflection at
12:10 of the second overtime to give the Dallas Stars a 4-3 victory over the
Minnesota Wild early Thursday for a 2-1 lead in the first-round series.
Matt Duchene tied it for Dallas on a power play midway through the third
period, seconds after his backcheck on Matt Boldy averted a short-handed goal
that would've put Minnesota up by two.
After the Wild failed to convert two overtime power plays, finishing 1 for 7
with the man advantage, the Stars took advantage of theirs after Danila Yurov's
delay-of-game penalty. Nils Lundkvist's shot was knocked in by Johnston for his
third goal in three games.
The game ended at 12:54 a.m.
