After the first period, Ben Bishop had put his team in a good position to win. Despite the Stars’ having spent most of those 20 minutes struggling to transition with any meaningful possession in the offensive zone, a couple of huge stops by the homecoming netminder had kept the Stars in it.
After the second period, you had some doubts that the Stars would be coming back from a 3-1 deficit. The Brayden Point goal off a John Klingberg misplay was a dagger in any body of hope, and the Stars would end the period going a resounding -1 for 3 on the power play.
