The Stars staved off a losing record tonight by doing the unthinkable (or what used to be unthinkable, at least): they won the second game of a back-to-back on the road.
If you had to pick a game in which the Stars won, you’d probably choose a Ben Bishop start with four goals on his side over a Kari Lehtonen start on the second night of a back-to-back with zero even-strength goals, right? Well, you’d be wrong, my friend. Hockey is not here to make sense; hockey is here to make fools of us all. But our brains are wired for meaning-making, and that’s just what we’ll do.
