Dallas was only down a goal heading into the third period in a 3-2 game. Then the Penguins exploded for three goals in the final minutes, including an empty-netter, to give the Stars another loss on this road trip.
We had three or four great opportunities just before that to tie the game," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "You can number the chances we had, the [Brett] Ritchie chance, [Stephen] Johns, Cody Eakin off the post, good chances ... But we can't sit here and talk about the chances, we've now had four or five games where you've got to get it in the back of the net.
