CALGARY, Alberta - The Stars are a riddle wrapped inside a mystery inside an enigma, but they seem to be getting better.
Dallas continues to dominate on special teams, and built on that with stronger five-on-five play and goal tending, taking a 2-1 win over the Calgary Flames Friday.
The Stars move ahead of the Flames in the standings now at 6-5-0 on the basis of two power play goals and a 28-save performance from Kari Lehtonen.
"Our record doesn't indicate how well we've played, we deserve a much better record, so this is a reward for us doing that," Stars coach Ken Hitchcock said.
