The Jim Montgomery Era, young though it is, began smoothly enough through the season's first three games, but an early 3-0 deficit against Anaheim in Game No. 4 on Saturday might have given fans cause for concern.
Briefly. A flicker of concern, at most.
Before the sellout crowd of 18,532 could ponder their team's three-goal, second-period deficit, the Stars electrified American Airlines Center by scoring four goals in a Duck-dazing 6:32 span en route to a 5-3 victory.
"That was a character win," Montgomery said. "It shows how hard our guys work for each other."
The Stars (3-1) opened the season with a four-game homestand, and now they go on the road to play two straight, four of the next seven and eight of the next 11.
