Unfortunately, these things weren’t enough to get them over the line against the Dallas Stars, who held on against their former desert rivals en-route to a strange 3-2 win.
No scoring in the first period. However, despite being out-shot by the Stars 7 to 5, the Coyotes’ created better scoring chances and appeared to spend more time on attack.
1-0 Dallas - With Radim Vrbata playing the right point position on the power play, he is forced to defend 1 on 1 against Jason Spezza.
