The most important thing is getting the two points, but it tastes a little better than a normal win.
No team in the Western Conference has gotten off to a better start than the 9-2-0 Dallas Stars, and two former recent Sharks are playing a big role in that success.
Both contributed to the Stars’ 5-3 win over San Jose on Saturday afternoon, too. Antti Niemi stopped 26 of 29 shots, while defenseman Jason Demers posted two points and a +3 rating, including a shorthanded goal in the second period that put Dallas ahead 2-0 at the time.
