Well that’s one way to roll into the All-Star break.
While Thursday night’s game between the Dallas Stars and Buffalo Sabres may not have been everything you would want to see from the team in victory green, it definitely had everything necessary to make for an exciting and frantic game.
Amidst a flurry of reviews and challenges that were determined by mere inches, the Stars rallied back from an early 2-0 deficit and scored four unanswered to take a commanding 4-2 lead in the second period.
That lead would soon be chopped in half as the Sabres found a way to score a third goal on their eleventh shot as the Stars sat at 34 shots by the end of the middle frame.
