Continuing on their West Coast swing, the 1-0-1 Dallas Stars tried to shake off their shootout loss on Tuesday night against the Anaheim Ducks.
The Ducks, squarely in a rebuild, have already proved an aggravating opponent for some of the leagues top teams when they thrashed the Caroline Hurricanes 6-3. The Stars had to avoid the classic trap game to re-settle themselves and collect two important early season points.
A line-up change for the Stars included the addition of Sam Steel, who came in for Ty Dellandrea. Jake Oettinger would face-off against John Gibson in an all-American match-up in net.
