Tyler Seguin haunts former team with highlight-reel goal in overtime
Seguin weaved through the Bruins to give the Stars the 3-2 win.
Although nearly five years have passed since that fateful July 4 (you know, the one when the Bruins traded Tyler Seguin to the Stars), playing in Boston still means something to the 25-year-old center.
“It’s special and it’s weird,” Seguin said after the 3-2 decision where his overtime effort pretty much single-handedly ended the game. “I enjoy looking up and seeing the banner…also happy we only come here once a year.”
Seguin took a feed from John Klingberg, finessed his way around all three Bruins defenders and finished it off with patience 2:59 into overtime. See it for yourself:

“I felt like everyone was just sliding at me and the whole time I wanted to pass,” he explained. “I was just looking for the right play and kept holding it.”
After a scoreless first period, goals from Stephen Johns and Alexander Radulov gave the Stars a two-goal lead in the second. This Zdeno Chara bomb got the Bruins on the board at 16:28:
