On Sunday afternoon, the Dallas Stars dropped an embarrassing 6-0 decision to the visiting Vancouver Canucks at American Airlines Center in Big D. The loss was the first in six games for the Stars, a team that missed a massive opportunity in the loss.
Following the Pittsburgh Penguins’ defeat of Central Division mainstay St. Louis, the Stars were within a win of passing the Blues for third-place in the National Hockey League’s most competitive division.
In addition, the Winnipeg Jets – also pacing the Stars in points – were downed at home on Sunday by the lowly New York Rangers.
