Penalty trouble early on for the Stars cost them big time through the first period of play. Devin Shore finds himself with hi first minor on the season, and even with an ineffective power-play for the panthers all season, they made sure it counted tonight. Jonathan Huberdeau was able to find a seam and get one in past Khari Lehtonen, to put the Panthers up 1-0 five minutes into the period.
One almost lone bright spot in the first was Remi Elie’s physicality, pounding a Panther up and into the Stars bench.
