The Stars are back to playing "Stars Hockey," but that doesn't mean they'll get rewarded every night.
This is the NHL, after all.
Dallas battled the Chicago Blackhawks Saturday at American Airlines Center Saturday, created all sorts of scoring chances, and looked a lot like the team that won big on Thursday, but it instead got handed a 3-2 loss.
You can blame a quick whistle that helped the Blackhawks to an early goal or a quick whistle that helped Chicago prevent a late goal. You can blame a couple of questionable calls, including a late hooking penalty on Jamie Benn.
