Game Recap
The Dallas Stars came out sporting a very different line-up, one that featured a split Benn and Seguin, and that had Stephen Johns scratched and Antti Niemi in goal. In the long run, these proved to be good moves. John Klingberg came out ready to score, taking several good long range shots early on to set the tone that the Stars were looking to find the back of the net.
