Head coach Jim Montgomery liked what he saw on Wednesday night in Calgary, as the Dallas Stars pulled out a 3-1 “complete game” victory over the Flames.
Perhaps it was a return of 2018-19 Stars hockey. Facing his first shot of the game, Ben Bishop pulled off a miracle save instead of opening up a first-shot hole. The entire first period seemed like a first from last year, up to and including the 0-0 score line at the end of 20 minutes.
The second period showed the Stars tilting the ice in their favor, only to be followed by a bit of turtling down the stretch in the third.
