If the Dallas Stars hang on and make the playoffs, you may be looking back at Tuesday night’s game as one of the big reasons why. The Tampa Bay Lightning have owned the Stars ever since they played each other in the Stanley Cup Final two seasons ago. Andrei Vasilevskiy has been near perfect against Dallas and he almost was on Tuesday as well.
Except for the lone Roope Hintz goal and the play from Scott Wedgewood on the other side, Tampa may have walked away with another win. But, alas, they did not.
