Once again, Julius Honka uses an overtime shift to demonstrate why he belongs not just in the Dallas Stars’ future, but at the center of it.
You probably remember his debut against the Minnesota Wild in November, in which (amongst other things) he broke up a 2-on-1 to create a turnover that led to a Stars’ OT victory, and did it with such preternatural sangfroid that the entire league took notice.
Honka’s latest exploits, and those of his fellow Texas Stars call-ups, gave the fans something to cheer and even more to look forward to, as Mike Heika writes:
"I think he's getting a little bit more confident to get involved on the offensive side," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said.
