Cold facts: Slow start dooms Stars team that has no room for error

Three Stars

1. Craig Anderson, Senators: Never gave Stars a chance with 35 saves

2. Cody Ceci, Senators: Goal, assist, plus-2, 4 blocked shots

3. Jason Spezza, Stars: Goal, assist, 11 shot attempts

Big play

For 14:49 of the second period, the Stars held the Senators without a shot on goal. In clawing back from a 3-0 deficit that chased starter Kari Lehtonen from the game, Dallas received a goal from Tyler Seguin and several close calls. However, Patrick Sharp took a tripping penalty and Viktor Stalberg tipped in a power play goal on the first shot Antti Niemi saw, and that was pretty much the game.
