PITTSBURGH -- Lindy Ruff is banging the accountability drum, and he's starting with himself.
The Stars coach Wednesday said he has to step up his game in terms of squeezing the potential out of the best players.
"I have to do a better job," Ruff said. "I have to hold them more accountable. I've let too many guys off the hook."
Ruff used the comparison of performances Monday and Tuesday, and said they reveal a lot about the 9-9-6 Stars. Dallas was sloppy Monday and was outshot 31-21 in St. Louis. The Stars were much better Tuesday and outshot Detroit 35-20.
