The Stars toyed with their guests for 40 minutes, but Jamie Benn finally reminded everyone who's in charge in Dallas.
You have to give the Dallas Stars credit: giving Matt Moulson two golden opportunities in the first period is about as close to throwing a gauntlet down in Fate's living room as you can get. Add in the brilliant chances given up to Jack Eichel, and you could be forgiven for thinking that the Stars were purposely reminding all of us why Antti Niemi started game one of this wonderful season.
