As the Dallas Stars gave away three goals in the first period of their New Year’s Eve matchup against the Florida Panthers, it was clear that the Stars probably wouldn’t be ending 2016 on a high note.
One of their biggest problems in the game turned out to be their offense. Though Dallas put up 36 shots, the majority of them were on broken chances or from low-quality scoring areas. The Panthers’ defense also did a good job of keeping the Stars out of the slot and giving them few chances.
The Dallas Stars did find a way to score one goal, though.
