Despite Quick making one brilliant save after the other, he couldn’t stop Roope Hintz in overtime as he put through the game winner 3:19 into overtime, lifting the Dallas Stars into the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference. The Stars are a point ahead of Minnesota and Colorado, while Arizona is only two points back.
The Kings remained at the bottom of the Western Conference despite strong games from Kopitar (2G, 1A), Tyler Toffoli (1A, 6 SOG, 20 TOI), Matt Roy (8 blocks, 17:44 TOI), and Brendan Leipsic (1G).
