After trailing 3-1 going into the third period, Dallas came back to make it to overtime 4-4, ultimately falling in the shootout, 5-4.
Here are a few notes:
- Adam Mascherin had the first fight of the season with Minnesota's Louis Belpedio after the latter crushed Ty Dellandrea on a legal hit on the near boards. Mascherin figures to be a big part of the plans for the top six in Cedar Park this season. It's interesting to see that he might have a physical edge to his game as well. That's not really been big part of the Stars' game in a while, but it could add a new wrinkle.
