The Dallas Stars, donning their Blackout Jerseys for the first time this season, hosted the New York Rangers in an afternoon matinee Saturday. The Rangers were coming off a four-game losing streak and were expected to jump out of the gate trying to add a mark to their victory column. Miro Heiskanen remained out of the Stars line up and Igor Shesterkin, not surprisingly, returned to the Rangers crease to face the hottest goalie in the NHL, Jake Oettinger. Let’s recap this afternoon affair.
First Period
Those who came later to their seats in the AAC might have missed the first chance of the game which resulted in the first goal in the 69th second of the game thanks to a very NICE shot by Mason Marchment, already his fourth of the very young season, assisted by Tyler Seguin.
