And now for something completely different.
The Dallas Stars' last 11 goal totals? 1, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 1. Thursday night against the Nashville Predators? Try five. In two periods, even.
Jason Dickinson played his second NHL game, Kari Lehtonen got yet another nod in net, Cody Eakin sat out, and perhaps most importantly- Lindy Ruff reunited the super friends as he continues to pull levers in search of change.
Tonight it worked. Three points for Jamie Benn. Three points for Jason Spezza. Two points for Tyler Seguin. At home with last change, Ruff went to a move he’s seen success with in the past and the Preds, and Pekka Rinne, we’re amenable.
