The ebbs and flows of the hockey season welcome inconsistencies and uneven performances. It lends itself to anemic outputs and explosive onslaughts. It's part of the beauty of the season. Every night presents an opportunity to erase the previous night's errors.
So, it only made sense that the Stars broke out for 6-4 win over Ottawa on Friday night, receiving two goals from defenseman Miro Heiskanen and firing 54 shots on goal. The 54 shots on goal were more than the previous two games combined, when Dallas managed 36 shots total in losses to the Rangers and Penguins.
