Well, take that(!) weird curse of the new bye-week thingy.
Teams were 4-12-4 after their so-called 'bye week' heading into play this evening- The Stars were similarly unsteady to begin against the Arizona Coyotes this evening, but finished with a strong third period en route to a 5-2 victory.
A second consecutive victory on a second consecutive emotional evening. Last Saturday's being so much more substantive, of course, but tonight was one the players felt, however differently, affected by. Because Patrick Eaves (hold the Patrick Leaves jokes, please) is no longer a Dallas Star.
At least not right now ;)
The break goes by.
