The old saying goes that all streaks are meant to be broken. And while many use that saying to focus on positive ends to negative skids, it can easily be forgotten that the saying is all-encompassing and involves both good and bad streaks. The Dallas Stars learned that the hard way on Sunday in Detroit.
After taking an early 2-0 lead against the Red Wings and starting the game on a blazing pace, Dallas hit another wall for the third time in the early going of their 2019-20 regular season. Anthony Mantha took a hammer to the Stars’ hopes as he scored four goals for Detroit and helped lift his team to a 4-3 comeback victory.
