BOSTON (CBS 11 Sports) - With the Dallas Stars back home, they can celebrate a road trip that ended with the team posting it's best start after 15 games in team history.

The most memorable sight so far from the Stars banner beginning, took place in Boston, when Stars forward Tyler Seguin noticed a young girl in the stands with a sign that read, "my only wish for my sweet 16 is to meet Tyler Seguin."

During the game in which Seguin scored three goals, he took a puck and flipped it over the glass to the young lady. Her reaction was one full of emotion and tears.

Seguin didn't stop there.

The team arranged for the teen to meet him after the game, at which point, he gave her a hug and a face-to-face birthday greeting.

His response to the impact of the video, which became a hit on social media, is "it sounds cheesy, but as much as fans enjoy those moments, we as players enjoy them more."

Seguin's teammate Jamie Benn says "it shows what kind of person he is…how far he's willing to go to make a fan's day."

Currently, Tyler Seguin leads the National Hockey League in scoring. What he did for that 16-year-old girl, is worth more than any point he'll score this season.
