The Dallas Stars hosted the Buffalo Sabres at the American Airlines Center as the Stars look to ring in the new year with a win. It didn't even take the Stars a minute to score a goal tonight as the team's golden retriever, Mavrik Bourque, put back his own shot to open the scoring. That got the crowd off their feet after sitting down from singing the National Anthem. The Stars, however, would go on to lose 4-1 to the Sabres after disappearing in the second period.
Just because you scored one goal doesn't mean you let your guard down against a team that has nine wins coming into tonight's game.
