Detroit — Thanks to the best efforts of Jonathan Bernier, the Red Wings’ playoff hopes will survive another day.
Thanks to Jamie Benn’s goal 32 seconds into overtime, the Dallas Stars got two much-needed points on Saturday night.
Dallas topped Detroit 2-1 despite Bernier’s 50 saves, tied for the most in the NHL this season.
The goaltender stopped the first 42 shots before he cracked, eventually surrendering a goal on his 43rd shot.
“That’s my job is to stop pucks, and it’s tough to come out and have a performance like this and not win,” Bernier said.
