All the “stars,” both the “stars” of the Tampa Bay Lightning and all of the visiting Dallas Stars were on the ice on Thursday for an evening matchup at Benchmark International Arena.
It was a true defensive battle on the ice between the two clubs as the game remained scoreless through the first period. The visiting Dallas Stars had just six shots on goal in the first period as the Lightning had 11, but neither team was able to put the puck through the net in the first. Jake Oettinger had all 11 saves for the Stars in the first period and Andrei Vasilevskiy had six saves in the first.
