If you thought the Dallas Stars’ first game out of COVID protocol would be a crazy goal festival and a wild ride to a win, bring your tickets to the window. It took a shootout, and six goals, but the Stars came back from one of the longest disruptions in team history with a big win.
Could it be that the Stars really can outscore their problems? The Dallas Morning News’ Matthew DeFranks looked at the facts:
In their first game since Dec. 20, the Stars beat the Panthers 6-5 in a shootout on a wild night at the American Airlines Center, when neither team had a two-goal lead and the score was tied at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
