CEDAR PARK, Texas — The Texas Stars fought a 2-1 third period deficit and a late six-on-five goal to defeat the Ontario Reign 4-3 in overtime. Veteran forward Brian Flynn tapped in a wonderful set-up by Roope Hintz and Denis Gurianov to take Game 1 of their first round Calder Cup Playoffs series.
Flynn’s overtime winner came just 1:55 into the extra period, after Reign forward Matt Moulson netted an equalizer with the extra attacker on late in the third. It was Flynn’s first career AHL postseason goal, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.
