The Stars answered back two minutes later, however, when Tyler Seguin scored his team’s first goal.
Brett Kulak didn’t get an assist on the sequence, but he would have deserved one. The former Habs player didn’t look very good on the sequence.
Tyler Seguin gets the @DallasStars on the board! #StanleyCup
