Kevin Shattenkirk scores a tying goal with 3:21 left in regulation, but Jamie Benn answers 53 seconds into overtime for a 3-2 Dallas win.
ANAHEIM — The Ducks wanted to skate, pass and shoot, but the Dallas Stars wouldn’t let them. Ducks fans wanted to celebrate the offensive wizardry of rookie center Trevor Zegras on the night they gave away his bobblehead on Thursday at Honda Center, but the Stars denied them, too.
“They checked like they needed those points to make the playoffs,” Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said of the Stars. “They checked and they checked and they checked. Every time we turned around, they were in our faces. That’s what playoff hockey looks like. There’s no room. It becomes frustrating. For some of our guys who haven’t been through it, that is a good experience.”
Dallas limited the Ducks to only nine attempted shots, with four actually credited as shots on Jake Oettinger’s net. The Stars’ pressure on the puck was unrelenting and the Ducks couldn’t figure out how to beat it and they were hemmed in their own end of the ice for extended stretches.
