Overtime curse be darned. The Dallas Stars found a way to close out their homestand with a bang, defeating the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 in overtime to snag seven of a possible ten points out of the pre-Christmas homestand.
Game recap
The Dallas Stars started the game with plenty of energy and offensive push. But a hi-sticking penalty on John Klingberg led to a Jeff Carter power play goal which put the Kings up 1-0 early. The Stars continued to push in the offensive zone, but ended the period with a blank sheet.
