Okay, it’s the night before Thanksgiving, so what are we thankful for? The Dallas Stars outplayed yet another opponent by many metrics, and walked away empty-handed again. Too sloppy in their own zone, tons of shots but not enough quality chances...it adds up. To wit:
First period
- The good guys had to get busy on the penalty kill early due to another of those frustrating too-many-men incidents. The first kill showed a good trend as the Stars kept Kari Lehtonen’s view clear, and Kari responded by keeping shots out.
- In fact, with one awful exception, the PK looked good all night.
