Bridgestone Arena in Nashville has been the home of many terrors for the Dallas Stars over the years, and while Thursday’s 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators couldn’t be called a horror show, it was definitely another piece in the mounting frustration the team is facing early this season.
It all started off so well too. Some nice pressure on the penalty kill forced Pekka Rinne to try and handle the puck quickly behind his own net, ending in a delay of game penalty against the Predators. The Stars maintained possession through a brief 4-on-4 and then never gave it up, working a masterful power play set from the first unit that ended with Jamie Benn banging home the rebound of a John Klingberg shot.
