The Dallas Stars gave themselves a little Christmas gift Friday when they finally broke through for a third goal against the Los Angeles Kings- That it was an extremely rare overtime made it all the sweeter. The three-day break following was icing on the cake.
The Christmas gifts continue as Dallas plays what appear to be the two worst teams in the league in the Arizona Coyotes and Colorado Avalanche coming out of the break. The Stars went 3-1-1 on their face homestand said to be critical to saving the wayward season. Lindy Ruff was pleased. Kind of.
