Gaudreau scores winner in shootout, Flames beat Stars 3-2

DALLAS (AP) – Johnny Gaudreau put a backhand past Dallas goalie Ben Bishop in a shootout and the Calgary Flames beat the Stars 3-2 on Thursday night.

Tyler Seguin was the only one of three Stars who beat Calgary goalie David Rittich in the shootout. It was tied 1-1, with Sean Monahan beating Bishop before Gaudreau won the game on the last attempt in the first round.

Rittich had 34 saves, including the stop of a penalty shot awarded to Alexander Radulov with 21 seconds remaining in overtime.

Bishop made 27 saves.

The Flames erased a 2-0 deficit in the third on goals by Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin.

Dallas newcomers Joel L’Esperance and Joel Hanley teamed up for a second-period goal. Captain Jamie Benn, the longest-tenured Star, scored Dallas’ first power-play goal of the season nine seconds into the third period.
