Fresh off last night’s win, the Dallas Stars visited Arizona and the Arizona Coyotes today for their last game of 2019 ahead of New Year’s Day and the Winter Classic.
Last night, at home against the Colorado Avalanche, the Stars rallied in the third period after an incredibly disappointing second frame to win 3-2 in the shootout. The Coyotes were also on the second half of a back-to-back tonight, having lost 4-1 to the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday in Nevada. Coyotes goalie Antti Raanta was pulled after giving up four goals on 16 shots, so he was clearly looking to regain some pride tonight.
