Dallas Stars Make NHL History While Embarrassing the Nashville Predators

The Dallas Stars and Nashville Predators played to a historic result in their 3-2 game on Saturday December 23, 2023.

The game was just a regular Central division battle between the Nashville Predators and the Dallas Stars with future playoff implications on the line.

After the first period the shots were 12-8 Nashville in a pretty even game. In the second period Nashville was able to get two goals past Dallas netminder Scott Wedgewood. The shots in the second period were 16-7 Dallas after Nashville scored early.

Dallas scored halfway through the third period to cut the lead to 2-1, then the unbelievable happened. At 19:45 of the third period Nashville tied it up on a goal by Craig Smith, and then 11 seconds later, at 19:56 Jani Hakanpää blasted a shot from the point and scored. Scoring two goals to win the game had never been done in NHL history before, and it was pretty embarrassing for Nashville to be on the receiving end.

There were many surprising news stories from the result

The Dallas Stars currently stand tied for first in the Central division with 44 points. The Stars have two games in hand on the Colorado Avalanche, the team they are tied with, giving Dallas the advantage.

The Nashville Predators are in the first wildcard position in the Western conference with 38 points.
