NHL – Stars Inside Edge

Stars win a wild one in Los Angeles

“The Stars, despite plenty of ups and downs over the first half of the season, are 17-16-8 (42 points) and only two points behind Los Angeles, which currently holds the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference.”

Dallas News – SportsDay

Lindy Ruff wanted three specific players to score in LA, and they all delivered during a much-needed win

“In a game in which both teams suffered from horrible goaltending, the Stars finally experienced some puck luck. Tyler Seguin had a shot squirt into the air and fall past Kings goalie Peter Budaj. Devin Shore had a puck bounce into his feet while working in front of the net. Jamie Oleksiak whipped a shot through a crowd.”

“Somehow, after getting out-possessed for much of the period, the Stars were up 1-0 going into the middle frame. A bit of a turnabout for the Stars considering the way the season has gone so far.”
