Whenever there is a break in the schedule, teams always want to enter it on as strong of a note as possible. Unfortunately, the Dallas Stars weren’t able to achieve that goal on Sunday night.
Though they started their weekend back-to-back with a gritty 2-1 overtime victory against the Minnesota Wild, the Stars returned home and hopelessly dropped a 3-1 decision to the New York Islanders. Instead of heading into the break on a winning note, they will now enter on a lackluster performance that only spurns further questions about where this team is headed.
