DeBrincat corralled a slick pass from Patrick
Kane to beat goaltender Jake Oettinger at 2:56 of OT, handing
Dallas its first home loss of the campaign.
Chicago outshot Dallas 35-31 and the Stars were 0-for-3 on the
power-play.
A persistent DeBrincat provided the first goal of the game.
After having an apparent tally waived off in the first period
due to a high stick just above the crossbar, he converted on the
man-advantage at 12:29 of the second.
With the Stars' Justin Dowling serving an interference penalty,
DeBrincat scored on assists from Kane and Dylan Strome for
Chicago's 15th power-play goal in 13 games.
In three games since returning from the COVID-19 list, DeBrincat
has four goals, two assists and 17 shots on goal.
Dallas tied the game at 9:31 of the third period, as Jason
Robertson scored his first NHL goal moments after the Blackhawks
killed a penalty. Subban seemed to control a Dallas shot, but
the puck popped out of his glove and caromed off Robertson's hip
and into the net. Miro Heiskanen and Radek Faksa had assists on
the goal.
Oettinger made 33 saves, getting the start when Stars
counterpart Anton Khudobin was scratched as a result of a team
disciplinary matter. According to reports, Khudobin, who is
3-2-1 with a 2.51 goals-against average in six starts this
season, did not practice Saturday but skated afterward. Dallas
coach Rick Bowness indicated he was unsure whether Khudobin
would miss multiple games.
The Blackhawks engaged in their first fight of the season during
the second period, as Nikita Zadorov rumbled with Stars captain
Jamie Benn.
Alexander Radulov missed the game for Dallas with a lower-body
injury. Radulov has 11 points, four behind Joe Pavelski for the
team lead.
