Saturday nights game against the Carolina Hurricanes showed both the good and bad sides of Dallas Stars hockey. For much of the game, the Stars found themselves hemmed into their defensive zone, falling behind twice - only to storm back in the third period to tie the game and send it to overtime.
In overtime, the Stars dominated possession, but then gave up a high danger chance that ended in the back of the net. The optimist talks about the hard earned point, while the pessimist worries about sustainability.
In any case, Dallas has pulled in five points of a possible eight so far on this road trip through the Metropolitan Division - and most of that was against the top end of that Division.
