The Dallas Stars didn't want to disappoint Dave Strader.

Calling his first game of the season after undergoing cancer treatment, the play-by-play man was saluted by the club after captain Jamie Benn scored the overtime winner against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Stars were certainly glad to have him back in the booth.

Strader is set to call the next four games of the homestand before returning to New York for continued treatment.
