Last years’ Stars took the ice for the first two periods of play in St. Paul, reverting to old ways and inspiring some doubt. But thankfully, this season’s Stars found their way back to the ice in just enough time to come back from a 3-0 deficit to crush the Wild’s hope of winning in OT, 4-3.
Game Recap
Period 1
The Wild came out aggressively, perhaps throwing the Stars for a loop, if their first period play was any indication. Perhaps back to back games and travel fatigue combined for a nightmarish start, but the Stars were not quick enough on the attack.
