Wyatt Johnston had a goal and an assist, and Michael Bunting also scored for the Stars. Jake Oettinger stopped 22 of 24 shots.

Why it matters

The Stars' 15-game point streak is an impressive feat, tying for the second-longest in the NHL this season. Their strong play has helped them climb to second in the league standings, just three points behind the Central-leading Colorado Avalanche.

The details

Harley then scored the overtime winner for the Stars, who have now won four straight games. Oettinger continues his stellar play in net, going 11-0-1 in his last 12 games.

  • The Stars' 15-game point streak matches the longest in franchise history, set by the 1998-99 Stanley Cup team.
