A busty NHL fan went viral on Saturday night after being spotted in the crowd at a playoff game in Dallas.

As the hosts secured a crucial Game 7 victory over the Colorado Avalanche, the stunning blonde was frequently captured by ESPN cameras while sitting over the right shoulder of Stars head coach Peter DeBoer.

She caused quite a stir online after positioning herself behind the home team’s bench at American Airlines Center, and she proved a good-luck charm as they ran out 4-2 winners.

The fan in question has since been identified as Instagram model Natalie Gauvreau, who boasts close to half a million followers on the platform and

Gauvreau, who is a huge Stars supporter, has been seen sitting behind the Dallas bench on several occasions in the past.

She has also been picked up on NHL broadcasts while sat over the shoulder of DeBoer’s predecessors Rick Bowness and Jim Montgomery.

At Saturday’s playoff game, Gauvreau shared a video of herself walking down to her seat with two drinks in her hand and an upbeat song playing in the background.

‘The sound that plays in my head knowing the boys can’t lose with their Lucky Charms behind the bench,’ she wrote as the caption along with two four-leaf clover emojis.

The social-media beauty proved correct in the end as her beloved Dallas swept aside Colorado to book their place in the second round of the playoffs.

Dallas has won all four Game 7s it has played against Colorado, and reached the Stanley Cup Final after each of the first three. 

They went to seven games in the Western Conference final in both 1999 and 2000, and the Stars won a seven-game series in the second round of the pandemic-impacted 2020 playoffs inside the Canadian bubble. 

They are now gearing up for Game 1 of their second-round battle with the Winnipeg Jets, which comes on Wednesday night in Manitoba, Canada.
