Tyler Seguin netted 3 goals, while Jamie Benn added another to lift the Dallas Stars to their first victory, 4-2 over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Seguin scored the tie-breaking goal with 7:44 left in the third, his second goal of the night. An empty-netter for Seguin sealed the hat trick, and the victory for the Stars who started the season 0-1-1.
Kari Lehtonen had 33 saves on the night, including a few clutch game-saving stops in the final minutes. The Stars handed the Blue Jackets their first loss of the season, after a 2-0-0 start for them. Benn's goal was his first of the season, after a 34-goal, 45-assist season a year ago. Seguin's goals were his first 3 of the season, after a 37-goal, 84-point season last year. He had 3 hat tricks last season, and now has 5 on his career.
Ryan Johansen found the back of the net twice, his first 2 goals of the year for the Jackets. Jack Johnson had 2 assists, while Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 31 shots in the losing effort. The Blue Jackets will host the Calgary Flames Friday, looking to rebound after their first loss. The Stars look to carry the momentum of their first victory in a tough test at Pittsburgh against the Penguins Thursday night.
