Detroit — The type of game the Red Wings want to play, need to play to be successful, Dallas plays similarly.
Defense, low-scoring, tight checking, be opportunistic offensively, and depend on your goaltender to make the needed saves.
The Wings did it well Saturday, but Dallas was better in a 3-0 victory.
Tanner Kero (Hancock/Michigan Tech), Andrej Sekera and Ty Dellandrea (power play) had Dallas goals while goalie Anton Khudobin made 21 saves.
Sekera and Hintz scored third-period goals, ending any hopes of a Wings comeback in the defensive struggle.
Sekera put the Stars ahead 2-0 at 8 minutes, 16 seconds of the third period, and it already looked like an insurmountable lead.
