CALGARY, Alberta—Johnny Gaudreau saw the puck bouncing his way, so he raced over, slapped it toward the net—and sent the Calgary Flames to a Game 7 victory.

Gaudreau scored 15:09 into overtime to lift Calgary past the Dallas Stars 3–2 on Sunday night, giving the Flames just their second playoff series win in the last 17 years.
