It was a two-point effort by the Stars tonight. They jumped out to a two goal lead and had the top team in the league scrambling to get it back to even.
Dallas would walk away disappointed, though, after the same issues that have plagued this team all season reared their ugly heads for yet another time: penalty killing and complete breakdown in 3-on-3 overtime.
It’s 48 games into an 82 game season, and the Stars don’t seem to be improving in those key areas. The 5-on-5 play of late has been on point. They’re getting goal scoring more often than not.
