It wasn’t the ideal first game of the season for the Dallas Stars. John Klingberg left the game due to injury, after having returned from a nasty hit early in the game. Braden Holtby, who was playing very well for the Stars, also exited in the third period, forcing Anton Khudobin to finish the game cold.
But despite those injuries, the Stars managed to win both points in their opener, securing a 3-2 overtime win over the New York Rangers. Jacob Peterson kicked things off at the end of the first by scoring his first NHL goal in his first NHL game.
