The Dallas Stars can still clinch the top seed in the Western Conference, but Vladimir Tarasenko made absolutely sure it didn't happen Thursday night.
The St. Louis Blues star scored the winner in overtime to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks, forcing the Stars to wait until Saturday for another chance to lock up home-ice advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs.
The Stars defeated the Colorado Avalanche earlier in the night, but they needed both a win and a Blackhawks victory in regulation to clinch the No. 1 seed.
Chicago led the Blues 1-0 late in the third period, but Tarasenko delayed Dallas' celebration and set a new career high for goals in a season when he scored the game-tying marker.
