Dallas extended its points streak to 12 consecutive games.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have an older group,\u201d Stars forward Mavrik Bourque said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to stay focused. They got a good shot from the blue line, but we know we can still get those plays in overtime, and that\u2019s what we did.\u201d<\/p>\n The Stars started slowly and had to overcome a two-goal deficit and a standout performance by Chicago\u2019s goalie Arvid Soderblom. Bourque scored early in the third period before assisting on Justin Hryckowian\u2019s go-ahead goal halfway through the third for a two-point night. <\/p>\n Chicago took a 2-0 lead in the first period when Tyler Bertuzzi tipped in a shot before a save by Soderblom at one end turned into a goal for Sam Rinzel at the other.<\/p>\n \u201cWe looked a little bit tired,\u201d Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said. \u201cI thought we played hard with good energy, but I just didn\u2019t think we had quite the pop.\u201d<\/p>\n The Stars held a 13-6 shot advantage at the first intermission but turned just one of those shots into a goal. Nathan Bastian put Dallas on the board late in the first, deflecting Lian Bichsel\u2019s shot from the point. <\/p>\n Bastian has scored three goals in the last five games \u2014 half of the six total he has scored in 30 games this season. He\u2019s become a key depth piece for Dallas recently and responded well after being sent to the AHL for a conditioning assignment in December.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought that his game, the last 10, has been really good in lots of areas,\u201d Gulutzan said.<\/p>\n The Stars locked down defensively in the second, not allowing Chicago to take a shot on goal for the first 17 minutes of the period. Dallas had its chances at the other end, but Soderblom came up with multiple point-blank saves, adding to his total 27 in the game. Stars goalie Casey DeSmith faced just 19 shots, saving 16. <\/p>\n Less than a minute into the third period, Bourque tied the game at 2-2. Trade deadline acquisition Michael Bunting forced a turnover, and Bourque hit a post before a Chicago player knocked the puck into the net. <\/p>\n In addition to the assist, Bunting, whom Dallas acquired from Nashville, recorded 14:43 of ice time, one shot and one hit in his debut. <\/p>\n \u201cIt felt great to get that first one under the belt and obviously even better that it was a win,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Tyler Myers, whom Dallas traded for from Vancouver, skated 13:05 with two shots, one block and three hits. Myers, a Houston native, became the first Texan to appear in a Dallas Stars game in his debut.<\/p>\n The Stars had three chances on the power play and finally cashed in on their final attempt. Bourque and Hryckowian combined for the game-winning power-play goal with just over 10 minutes left in regulation. The Stars have scored power-play goals in their last nine games since, playing most of those without two players on their top unit \u2014 Roope Hintz and Mikko Rantanen.<\/p>\n Dallas took just one penalty with four minutes left in regulation, but the Stars killed it off. The Stars still gave up a critical goal short-handed in the final moments of the game, but Heiskanen made sure that wouldn\u2019t hurt them.<\/p>\n The Stars\u2019 six-game homestand continues Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights.<\/p>\n
