The Dallas Stars made a historic comeback, scoring two goals in the final 15 seconds to defeat the Nashville Predators. The game-tying goal was scored by Craig Smith at 19:45 of the third period, and Jani Hakanpää scored the go-ahead goal 11 seconds later. This marked the first time in NHL regular season history that a team achieved a game-tying and game-winning goal in the final 15 seconds of regulation. The Predators, who had played decently throughout the game, were stunned by the turnaround, with the Stars securing the win in regulation. This remarkable feat has been described as a Christmas miracle and a demonstration of clutch performance by the Stars.
