Cold facts: Patrick Sharp shines in Stars' win over Sabres; should Julius Honka get more minutes?

Three Stars

1. Patrick Sharp, Stars -- Two goals, five shots on goal.

2. Evander Kane, Sabres -- Two goals, one assist.

3. Kari Lehtonen, Stars -- Another stellar performance in relief.

Big play

When Patrick Sharp spun at the top of the left circle and fired a shot through a crowd 10:59 into the first period, it gave the Stars a chance to take a breath and also a little hope. Dallas had allowed the first goal against for the seventh consecutive game and was down 2-0 at the time, so Sharp clearly changed momentum.
