Since the Stars’ five-game winning streak ended earlier this month, they have won three games. All three of those victories (and all but one of their losses) saw the Stars score just two or fewer goals. Tuesday was almost the exact reverse of the Anaheim game, in which the Stars gave up the best chances (including a power play goal), but received outstanding goaltending to paper it over. Again, the Stars found a way to win with two goals.
And more than anything, that’s what you have to take away from this game. The Stars desperately needed a win to stay atop the bubble teams, and they got it.
