Joe Pavelski was back at SAP Center last night, as he and the Dallas Stars came to town for the second of three meetings against the San Jose Sharks. Playing against his former team in his former home didn’t seem to shake the former Sharks captain, though, as the Stars continue to fight for a playoff spot.
Kaapo Kahkonen was given the start in net, although (spoiler alert) he wouldn’t last long. Jonathan Dahlen also drew back in the line-up after an absence due to injury. The first period started off with a bang, raising hope that this game could have turned out a different way.
