Ken Hitchcock said before Saturday's showdown with the Nashville Predators that he wanted to at least get the attention of last year's Stanley Cup finalist.
Consider that deed accomplished.
In one of the more crazy and entertaining games of the season, the Stars survived to take a 4-3 shootout win over Nashville, getting their first points against one of the top three teams in the Central Division this season.
Dallas was 0-6-0 against Nashville, Winnipeg and St. Louis heading into the game, so taking a win was important.
"I don't think we've got their attention yet," Hitchcock said before the game.
