Seguin, a
veteran of these types of battles
found another creative way to be the last player to touch the playing surface before game. The two players kept a watchful eye on each other, and it looked as if Sergachev had won when Seguin departed for the Dallas dressing room.
Sergachev went down the tunnel, thinking the coast was clear. But Seguin had only gone halfway down the runway before sprinting back out to touch the rink before dashing back to the room.
Seguin's pregame win led to good luck for Dallas in Game 1 too. The Stars took a 1-0 series win with a 4-1 victory.
