The Dallas Stars defeated the Anaheim Ducks 5-3 last night, handing them their first regulation loss of the season. But if you stopped following the game around 8:00 p.m., you may think that’s not possible.
Following a three-day break from action that was kickstarted by a humbling 7-4 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Stars were back on the ice on Saturday night. Awaiting them was a 3-0-1 Ducks squad that had started the season on a hot note despite some of their top players missing from the lineup.
As a result, the 2-1-0 Stars had yet another sizable opponent awaiting them.
