In addition to goalie Jake Oettinger, who made 28 saves, Wyatt Johnston was the decisive factor in the Stars' 4-2 win over Minnesota.

The Canadian scored the first and last goals of the game. Johnston's second goal came shortly before the end during a power play by the home side. Just before that, the Stars had survived a Minnesota overtime game unscathed. Bichsel did not score.

He was punished by the national team coachLian Bichsel on Patrick Fischer: "Can't understand faking something like that"

Thanks to the win, the teams are tied 1-1 after the second game of the best-of-7 series. In the first game, which ended in a 6-1 defeat, the Stars were still clearly inferior.
