Sometimes, massive lineup changes can be seen as a panic move that unravels
the thread of a team.
Sometimes, they tie up loose ends and bring everything together.
The Stars received the latter on Friday, dominating the New York Islanders, 5-0, and putting out maybe their most complete game of the season after a big shakeup in the line.
John Klingberg had a goal and two assists, Jason Spezza and Gemel Smith each
scored their first goals of the season, and Ben Bishop pitched the somewhat
unusual 14-save shutout.
It was an impressive outing built on a three-day break between games that
featured plenty of hard work.
