About the Stars: In Tuesday’s wild 7-6 victory over the New York Rangers, forward Cody Eakin scored a goal, had and assist, and cost the Rangers’ Chris Kreider $5,000. That was the fine levied on Kreider for pulling off Eakin’s helmet and hitting him with it during a fight. In December, Eakin drew a four-game suspension for plowing into the Rangers goalie.
