Coming off of the holiday break, head coach Jim Montgomery had some colorful words when describing the Dallas Stars’ morning skate. The Stars responded with a very good first period against the Nashville Predators, but ended up getting severely outshot in the later 40.
Of course, it didn’t really matter, because Anton Khudobin is apparently a goaltending god. The Russian netminder faced 49 shots. He stopped Every. Single. One. His 49 saves were not only a career high, but also a franchise high since the Stars moved to Dallas, as well as a franchise high for saves made in a shutout including the Minnesota years.
