Duchene and Hintz Lead Stars to Victory Over Lightning, Achieving Franchise Milestone

Saturday, November 23rd, 2024

In the third period, Matt Duchene and Roope Hintz found the net, leading the Dallas Stars to triumph over the Tampa Bay Lightning with a score of 4-2. Jake Oettinger contributed by making 27 saves for Dallas, and Anthony Cirelli was responsible for both goals scored by Tampa Bay.

Tampa Bay initially took the lead at 1-0 and 2-1 during the first period, but Evgenii Dadonov and Miro Heiskanen equalized the game for Dallas. Later, Duchene and Hintz scored just 58 seconds apart in the third period, securing the advantage for the Stars.

Throughout this season, the Stars have allowed two or fewer goals in 12 of their 19 games, achieving victories in five of their last six. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay’s power play, which previously ranked first in the league, continues to face challenges at home, failing to score in all three attempts during this game.

A crucial moment occurred when the Lightning lost possession in their offensive zone, permitting the Stars to launch a 3-on-1 rush. Duchene concluded the play with a shot from the right circle, successfully scoring past Andrei Vasilevskiy and securing the winning goal.

Dallas reached their 2,000th win as a franchise, becoming the 10th NHL team to achieve this milestone. Their next game will be against Carolina on Monday, while the Lightning are set to host Colorado.
