The Dallas Stars lost to the Carolina Hurricanes 5-1, but they really lost to Teuvo Teravainen and his three goals and one assist. Special teams wrote part of the story, as the Stars scored their only goal on the power play, and Alexander Radulov continued to be Radu-Love as his point streak continues.
But positivity will have to wait, because oh boy. Let’s just get this done.
The Stars looked efficient, even dominant, during the first eight minutes of the game. Unfortunately, they didn’t convert any of the good chances they created on the first power play of game (a puck-over-glass by Marcus Kruger), so you had to wonder how long it would be before they’d regret it.
