The Dallas Stars returned home tonight and defeated the Detroit Red Wings in a 5-2 battle. It was a step in the right direction for the Stars who struggled to score in Tuesday night’s 2-0 loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
Recap
The first period saw the Stars open the scoring early when Lauri Korpikoski tipped in a Jordie Benn shot from the point at 3:39 of the frame to give Dallas a 1-0 lead. The Stars, however, found themselves in penalty trouble as they took four in the opening 20 minutes alone. The ensuing Wings power plays gave them the momentum and Detroit took a 2-1 advantage into the first intermission.
