The Dallas Stars had the perfect opponent for tonight. After a middling start to the season, Dallas was looking for something a little extra to end their slide and get back to .500 on the season.
Enter the St. Louis Blues.
After being demolished on home ice versus the Blues in the second round of the playoffs, the Stars had a little extra motivation on a Thursday night in Dallas to get a win. Not only did they do that, they managed their biggest win of the season so far, thumping the Blues for 6 goals against while allowing just 2 to find the back of their own net.
