John Klingberg was on the ice for the Stars for tying and winning goals by the Blackhawks Saturday. It seems he has a way to go to be the a reliable defenseman that Dallas needs.
"He's a young defenseman that still hasn't got a total grasp on some situations, and we do ask a lot from him," Ruff said Sunday after the team practiced in Euless. "I thought this morning was a really good meeting toward the realization that there are times when you just play defense. We are asking him to be a difference-maker, but inside of that I have to get him to a place where he realizes what manpower we have, where we're at in the game, and how to be smarter.
