Coming into tonight’s contest much was made about the Dallas Stars’ losing streak in Boston. And, as so accurately pointed out by Brad McDonnell here, the power play was a big reason for it.
Coming into the game tonight, the Stars had two power play goals on the season. Two. That’s it. Tonight, they had three. In one period. But we’ll get to that.
First Period
From the opening face off this game had the making of something crazy happening. Early on, neither team could handle the puck or make clean passes. Both of these meant scoring chances galore.
