NEW YORK -- Maybe this is just what the Stars' season will be -- a constant series of tests and challenges that will either leave them out of the playoffs and seeking changes or leave them with a heck of a story to tell.
Tuesday, they had a heck of a story to tell.
Jamie Benn and Cody Eakin faced challenges and came through. Kari Lehtonen faced challenges and came through. The Stars' now injury-prone defense faced challenges and came through.
The result was a wild 7-6 win over the New York Rangers that will hold the wolves off for at least a couple of days.
