It’s a bit early in the season to be expecting to talk about injuries, and certainly disconcerting coming on the heals of last season’s Star parade to IR, but sometimes stories just write themselves. After watching John Klingberg’s Gumby impersonation, while taking a Chris Kreider forearm shiver to the head, there was a sense of impending doom. Klingberg returned after the hit, only to miss the third period with understandable soreness (not sure whether that is Lower Body or Upper Body - but it could easily be both).
The Dallas Stars got out to an early lead by activating the defense and skating.
