Considering how much time and space the Detroit Red Wings’ defense granted the Dallas Stars skaters to operate Saturday, goalie Jonathan Bernier must have felt besieged from the beginning of the deflating 2-1 overtime defeat.
The Red Wings goalie, who faced 41 shots on goal (SOG) after 40 minutes, finished with 50 saves, the sixth-most in team history.
