The Dallas Stars were back in action after a day of licking their wounds after a dreadful 3-1 loss to the same Florida Panthers on Monday night. The weather layoff for the Stars did not help matters, and with a winless streak sitting at six games, the club was in desperate need of a win.
The Stars have relocated to Florida this week with one more tilt against the Florida Panthers tomorrow before flying to Tampa for a game Saturday. With the new condensed schedule for the Stars, it was critical that the team found the win column tonight for the first time in three weeks.
