Stars captain Joe Pavelski scored 2:13 into overtime as host Dallas beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 on Saturday night.
Dallas took an early 2-0 lead, only for Philadelphia to erase it by the end of the first period. Though the Stars restored their two-goal lead at 4-2, Travis Konecny and Scott Walker each scored to tie the score late in the final frame.
The game did not begin smoothly for Ersson, as fellow second-year player Wyatt Johnston opened the scoring for the Stars at 4:02 into the game. After going goalless through the first three games of the season, Johnston burst down the left wing and sent a snap shot over Ersson's shoulder.Tyler Seguin got his first goal of the season at 7:52 to make it 2-0, as Travis Sanheim failed to clear the puck, allowing Dallas to set up offensively before Seguin finished from the top of the crease.
The Stars restored their lead after Hintz scored off Jason Robertson's drop pass, but the Flyers never looked out of the game.
