Admit it. Thursdays Dallas Stars shootout win over the Florida Panthers isn’t what you were expecting. Certainly not the win, especially watching the first period and the obvious rust in the team’s game. Probably not a win where the team gave up five goals - and given Braden Holtby’s first period heroics, it could have been worse.
Turns out, missing 17 games didn’t change the Stars narrative at all. RoboHintzky line still stellar. Improved play from Tyler Seguin, while lining up with Jamie Benn and Denis Gurianov. Defenders jumping into the play and piling up assists.
