Without Alexander Radulov on the ice, the officials in Thursday night’s Dallas Stars-Winnipeg Jets game seemed a bit out of sorts. Calls were made, somewhat randomly. Jets fans, not used to seeing calls go against them, seemed to think that there was an extra Star on the ice wearing stripes.
It confused the Stars so much that they potted two goals on the power play, even if they did waste a good double minor-worth of man advantage for Mark Scheifele’s mild objection.
Thursday’s game was somewhat atypical for Dallas, with the exception of solid netminding and secondary scoring on the rush.
