The Dallas Stars are having an amazing season. While they appeared to be destined to be on the fringe of the playoffs, they now appear to be a real cup contender.

In fact, analytics show they may even be the favorite for the 2022-23 Stanley Cup.

The mix of some of the best young players in the league, and seasoned veterans playing to the best of their ability has made the team a true threat.

Yesterday, the team seemed off their game. At 9:37 in the third period, the Stars allowed the Chicago Blackhawks to score a fourth goal, putting them down 4-1. By the end of the period, they won 6-4.

As @OptaStats on Twitter discovered, this is a feat that no other team has ever done.

No other team in NHL history has allowed a goal that late in the game to fall behind by 3+ goals and yet came back to win in regulation.

If the Dallas Stars can pull this off, who knows how far they could go.
