He then dished a pass across the crease to Curtis McKenzie who found the back of the net with his 12th of the season.

Texas searched for the equalizer and in the meantime kept his club in the game. Opening the second period was a breakaway chance for Brandon Pirri that was denied by the Stars keeper and later in the frame he robbed McKenzie of a second goal with a dazzling glove save.

Both goalies stood tall in the third period and both teams failed to find the back of the net in their respective efforts. Joel L’Esperance was denied by a sprawling blocker save from Dansk to keep the score even. The final horn sounded with the score deadlocked sending the game into overtime.

The Wolves held possession for more than a minute to open overtime and rang a shot off the post in the extra period. However, it was Melnick who would prove to be the overtime hero.
