DeBoer’s latest win was unforgettable. The Stars trailed 2-0 in the third period Saturday. They were minutes from elimination in the Western Conference First Round when forward Mikko Rantanen erupted for three goals and an assist, leading them to a 4-2 victory against his former team, the Colorado Avalanche.

I think it’s the first Game 7 I’ve ever won,” Rantanen said after the Stars bounced the Avalanche from the playoffs. “I don’t think we won one when I was in that room.” Blame your coach, Mikko, because he took one from you six years back.

Dallas Stars coach Pete DeBoer is the first player or coach in NHL history to be part of nine Game 7 victories.
