It is not often that a regular-season NHL game, one waged in February between two teams far off the playoff pace, upstages the NBA All-Star Game. It happened this weekend.
The Stars have endured a disappointing season that is almost certain to bring significant change to the organization. First in the West last year, they sit in 12th even after Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the similarly hapless Tampa Bay Lightning.
But the Stars' finest moment of the season came about one minute after Jamie Benn deposited the puck in the Lightning net for the overtime win.
