DALLAS -- The final minute of the second period during the Stars’ 4-3 win over the Kings on Wednesday night was a potpourri of hockey and a grab-bag of lunacy, an exhibition of excitement and a moment of madness.
Before the Stars closed out an important win over the Kings, the last 60 seconds of the second period laid the groundwork. In the final minute before second intermission, the Stars scored two goals, drew a penalty and got in a fight. The minute of playing time took five minutes of real time to complete, and set the Stars up for their seventh win in the 10 games since the All-Star break.
Alexander Radulov scored the game-winning goal with 12.2 seconds left in the second, and the Stars held the Kings at bay in the third period. With the win, Dallas is in the second Wild Card position in the Western Conference.
