It was the third period, and the Stars were down 2-0 with a few wasted power play attempts under their belts already. But the Dallas Stars got a lucky break in the form of an unlucky situation when Kevan Miller was called for an ugly high sticking against Curtis McKenzie that left him bleeding profusely and caused him to leave the game.
The consolation was that the Stars were awarded a 4 minute power play opportunity. Even for a team whose power play has been on the not so good end of the spectrum this season, 4 minutes should be more than enough to get something going, right?
