The Dallas Stars needed to be desperate in their play, and you could even say they were in Tuesday night’s game. But not desperate enough.
The Stars went into Minnesota needing two points to keep their playoff hopes alive. They were up against a Wild team trying to keep its grip on third place in the Central Division and knew the stakes. But they couldn’t answer the bell.
Jamie Benn scored an early goal on a nice assist from Tyler Seguin to get the lead, but that’s when things started going downhill.
