The Dallas Stars rolled into Monday night’s game up 3-1 in a series that no one but die hard Stars fans had picked them to win, and for the first two periods, they played like a team no one would pick to win. Thankfully, hockey has three periods and the third is when the Stars finally showed up.
First Period
The first five minutes really looked like this was going to be an exciting first period for both teams, and that proved true for the Golden Knights, at least. The Golden Knights out shot the Stars 14-9 in the opening frame, but even worse, five of those shots were literally right on Anton Khudobin’s doorstep.
