It was not the prettiest, but it sure was exciting. The Dallas Stars put on a show for their sellout crowd at home and defeated the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 in the shootout. The Stars now improve to 18-5-0 while the Canucks fall to 9-8-7 on the year.
Game recap
First period
The Dallas Stars did not look like themselves through the first half of the first period. With almost no offensive pressure and six minutes on the penalty kill, it was a tough 10 minutes for Dallas. But the PK group came up big, shutting Vancouver down on all attempts.
