Another rally and another win for Dallas Stars prospects means a trip to the championship game at the Traverse City prospects tournament.

The Stars overcame a 2-0 second period deficit to beat Minnesota 3-2 Tuesday night to win the Western Conference and advance to the championship game against Atlanta at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

Colton Sceviour scored two goals, including the game-winner, and Jamie Benn also scored. James Neal and Tyler Shelast each had two assists. Matt Climie stopped 20 of 22 shots in goal.

Sceviour scored late in the second period to make it a 2-1 game. Benn scored shorthanded to tie the game early in the third and Sceviour scored 18 seconds later to put the Stars up for good.

Tuesday's game will not be rebroadcast on the NHL Network, but Wednesday's championship game will be replayed Thursday evening and during the day Friday.
