For a night, at least, the Dallas Stars looked like, well, the Dallas Stars.
Lindy Ruff's bunch had managed just six total goals in their previous five games before pouring six on Jake Allen and the St. Louis Blues Thursday night at the AAC- A tremendous way to kick off a brutal stretch of Central Division play which intensifies this evening when they kick off a home-and-home with the Chicago Blackhawks.
With so many bodies out for the Stars and the attack not as dynamic as Jim Nill had planned in the interim, Dallas got what they needed Thursday: A huge performance from their top line at home.
