The Dallas Stars took on the Anaheim Ducks tonight at the Honda Center. After beating the San Jose Sharks 5-3, they were looking for one more win to wrap up their West Coast trip this week. I guess they really wanted the win, because the Stars scored four goals in the first period, which led to an 8-3 victory over the Ducks tonight. That was probably one of the best first periods the Stars have played all season long. They even forced a goaltender change 15 minutes into the opening frame.
The Stars could not afford the Ducks to get off to a quick start tonight.
