It's not all outdoor games and attendance boasting in Minnesota these days.
Everything Dallas hasn't been getting lately, they got tonight. And boy, did they need it.
Kari Lehtonen stood tall in a lopsided third period, and you began to remember what it felt like early in the season when Dallas was getting Netminding of Professional Quality from both goalies. Though unlike the Stars' last win (also an OT victory, but in Colorado) in its feel, Dallas' victory over a freefalling Minnesota--11 losses in their last 12, and now 1-10 in OT/Shootouts--also featured a timely power play goal, and a goalie who saved the Stars' bacon on some dangerous chances despite giving up three tallies.
