ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Patrick Nemeth scored his first goal of the playoffs in overtime as the Texas Stars beat the St. John’s IceCaps 4-3 on Tuesday to win the American Hockey League’s Calder Cup.

Nemeth deked inside and out heading into the slot before firing home the winning wrist shot top shelf 14:30 into extra time.

Texas dominated the series, taking the minor hockey league’s title in five games.

Mike Hedden had two goals and Brett Ritchie also scored for Texas in regulation time.

Blair Riley, Jordan Hill and Josh Lunden supplied the offence for St. John’s.

Hedden opened the scoring for the Stars when he carried it down the right wing and cut to the net, before he toe-dragged and buried the puck high blocker side with a wrist shot at the 18:52 of the first period.

Ritchie used a defenceman as a screen for Texas’s second goal, as he shot it around an IceCaps defenceman, fooling St. John’s goalie Michael Hutchinson over the shoulder at the 4:59 mark of the second period.

The IceCaps scored their first when Hill fired a wrist shot from the point, through a screen of several players in front of the net, at the 11:06 mark of the second period.

A perfect tape-to-tape pass from Zach Redmond at the right point found a flying Lunden at the left post for a one-time wrist shot into an open net at the 16:38 mark of the second.

St. John’s took the led for the first time when Riley intercepted a pass between the defencemen in the slot and capitalized on a breakaway chance, beating Stars goalie Cristopher Nilstrop above his glove 6:33 into the third period.

The Stars tied the game when the puck hit off of Hedden in the slot, with several players crashing the net, and flipped up and over Hutchinson with 6:34 left in the third period.

Hutchinson saved 41 for the IceCaps, while Nilstrop turned aside 33 for the Stars.
