The Dallas Stars opened the regular season with a 4-1 win over the Nashville Predators. Mason Marchment had two goals, Jake Oettinger made 31 saves, Nils Lundkvist recorded his first point as a Star, and Wyatt Johnston made history.
Mason Marchment Magic
Marchment was signed in the offseason to provide some secondary scoring for the Stars, a team desperate for goal scoring the last several seasons. His first goal was on a breakaway where he beat three different Predators players and then went one-on-one with Juuse Saros and won.
His second goal gave Dallas a 2-0 lead on the power play late in the first period.
