Wyatt Johnston secured a Game 3 victory for the Dallas Stars in double overtime against the Minnesota Wild. Host Gavin Spittle identified special teams as the deciding factor; Dallas held Minnesota to 1-for-7 on the power play while converting on 3 of 8 opportunities.
Spittle noted that the Wild decreased their physical play in an effort to avoid the penalty box, though the strategy proved unsuccessful. He also highlighted defenseman Miro Heiskanen, noting that Heiskanen’s increased shot volume from the point—a tactic Spittle had called for—directly led to Johnston’s winning goal.
The discussion concluded with Spittle addressing Jamie Benn’s penalties, how assistant coach Glen Gulutzan should manage the veteran captain, and a plea to insert Michael Bunting into the lineup. Spittle closed the segment by reading listener comments from the "Sudsies" on X.
